Hello, Jonathan. If I understood correctly you're thinking of installing a non-Fink g95 and copying its files to Fink's folder, /sw. That's potential for trouble because you'd be installing files that are supposed to be installed by Fink, potentially messing with Fink's (dpkg's) internal list of installed files, as well as leaving dangling files if you attempt to undo this 'installation'. There's also the issue that library full paths are hardcoded into programs linked against them, so you might have to create appropriate symbolic links whenever needed. I wouldn't recommend it at all and Fink wouldn't be able to provide you any further support. In summary, don't do it. :) As for netcdf-g95 using a non-Fink g95 in a different location (/usr/ local, /opt, etc), one possibility is to create a local netcdf-g95 package and modify its package description so that it doesn't depend on Fink's g95 and uses a non-Fink g95 for compilation. You may find information on local packages in the following pages: http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/local-packages/ http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/creating-local-packages/ I've never used Fortran and I don't know netcdf-g95 so I wouldn't be able to tell you how much work it would be to adapt it so that it uses a non-Fink g95 compiler.
