Hello,
Basic problem: I can't execl() a file compiled with f77.
More expanded:
I have a program
main ()
{
execl ("prog2", (char *) 0);
}
that should execute the program "prog2". If I make prog2.c like:
main ()
{
printf ("hi\n");
}
Then compiling this and running the first program will give the result "hi".
However, when I try the equivalent from Fortran:
program test
print *,'hi'
stop
end
I get a segmentation fault when I run the first program. I can run prog2 on
its own.
System information:
I have tried this on both a Solaris and SunOS operating system, running
SunSPARCs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Erik
