When I try to use gfortran I get the following; x42071d54:~/blas williamminer$ gfortran -c blas.f90 dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/ libiconv.2.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gfortran Reason: Incompatible library version: gfortran requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0 Trace/BPT trap x42071d54:~/blas williamminer$ So I think that I need to update libiconv. So I go to the GNU site http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/#downloading and I see The latest release is http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.12.tar.gz So I look in /usr/lib and I see that I have lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Jun 17 2007 libiconv.2.2.0.dylib -> libiconv.2.dylib -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 987544 Aug 18 11:17 libiconv.2.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 Jun 17 2007 libiconv.dylib -> libiconv.2.2.0.dylib Which looks suspicious to me (I just inherited this computer) because it looks like it has version 2 but is trying to fool the system into thinking that it has version 2.2.0. But in any case it certainly has a newer version than 1.12. I¹m have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC Mac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Thanks! Buff Miner
