I had no problems with my original g77-3.3 from testing. But then g77-3.3 was upgraded and when I wanted to compile a package that contained Fortran code, I ran into this problem. A bit of investigation showed that the current g77-3.3 version in testing has (on my machine) in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.3 symbolic links for libg2c-pic.a and libg2c-pic.so to libg2c.a and libg2c.so, respectively, as if the latter libraries are in the same directory. But those two libraries are actually installed into /usr/lib/. So the symbolic links point into nirvana and ld can't find the libraries. My solution was to upgrade to g77-3.3 in unstable (by changing my preference file in /etc/apt (attached below). No problems since then. Hope that helps. Cheers, Berwin
