This "U" here means "undefined" (see "man nm"). I don't know if this symbol is something that f2py introduces, or if it is present in the original Fortran sources. One way to know for sure is to examine all .f90 and .c files generated by f2py and search for this symbol and make sure that these subroutines/functions are linked in. > And that about hits my limit of compiler knowledge, as I am pretty much a > novice with these things. Any ideas on what is going wrong here, or > suggestions of things to try? I personally wrap Fortran like any other C code using the iso_c_binding Fortran module. I use Cython, but you can also use ctypes or any other method. See here: http://fortran90.org/src/best-practices.html#interfacing-with-c http://fortran90.org/src/best-practices.html#interfacing-with-python That way it is easy to see what is going on under the hood.
