All I want to do is allocate some memory the quick and dirty way :-(
I'm sorry I can't help you (I also don't understand why your approach doesn't work).
Do you really have to allocate (in the Fortran 90 sense) this array ? Is it used outside the routine it's allocated in ?
If not, you could use a automatic array (if you know the bounds at entry of the subroutine). Automatic arrays are supported by g77.
Hope this helps,
