Hi,
My fortran code compiles fine if i use arrays of size less that 4 GB.
When i increase the array size to more that 4 GB, the compilation fails
with the following error. I am running this on 32GB RAM machine.
$ g77 -O3 MAIN.o write_output.o read_population.o write_population.o

I guess there must me some option to g77, that will let the program
use more than 4 GB of memory.
x86_64 binutils don't support larger static objects. You should have no
trouble using more memory, just not in a single static object. As g77
doesn't support allocatable arrays nor Cray pointers, you would have to
change compilers (e.g. to gfortran) to use either of those methods.
Remember that g77 support had dwindled before x86_64 was released.
