You are correct. 4.3.3 is still in 'pre-release'. > - it's trim which shows a bug The bug report seems to indicate that string assignment itself, or the print statement is broken (too?). > - gfortran-4.3 is not broken (and please avoid capital wording) I was trying to catch some attention to what I thought was a really serious issue! (And UPPER CASE comes natural to a FORTRAN coder :)) Further info on the errand: I tried to run the program via gdb and I saw that libgfortran contained paths to /home/fx/.../trunk/gfortran - that is, not stable?? This seemed just too strange to be true. And of course it was not true: /usr/bin/gfortran was picking up libgfortran from my gfortran 4.4 installation under /opt/irun/lib. After removing gfortran 4.4 from /etc/ldconfig.so and re-running ldconfig the test program runs just fine. This errand can be closed. Nothing remains a Ubuntu-specific problem. -- Henrik Holst -- string handling broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306912 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
