Hello, I hope this is also the right place for gfortran. I encountered the following problem when compiling netcdf 3.6.3 and etsf-io 1.0.3 unsing gcc 4.6.2, 4.6.1 as wel as gcc 4.7.1: When the makefile tries to link some binary using (at least echoing) the following command line: gfortran -I../../src/low_level -I../../src/group_level -I/home/kelling/checkout/want-2.4.0/plugins/netcdf/include -O3 -g -x f95-cpp -input -D__GFORTRAN -D__STD_F95 -D__FFTW -D__MPI -D__PARA -I../include -I../include -I. -I/home/kelling/checkout/want-2.4.0/extlibs/iotk/include -I../libs -I../wannier -I../transport -L../../src/group_level -L. -L/home/kelling/checkout/want-2.4.0/plugins/netcdf/lib -o etsf_io etsf_io.o -letsf_io_utils -letsf_io -lnetcdf gfortran gives a warning: Warning: Reading file 'etsf_io.o' as free form followed by errors like: \x01\x0E\xEE\x0C\x01 1 Error: Invalid character in name at (1) . I am not familiar with fortran, so I am do not know what 'free form' means, but it does not seem to be the correct interpretation of the object file, here 'etsf_io.o' . I there anything wrong with this command line above? Is there something wrong with my setup or does this problem belong to gfortran or etsf- io? I got the same problem with a testcase of netcdf.
