Summary: Get errors using my Iomega Ditto floppy tape and g77 compiler
Keywords: floppy tape g77 fortran
X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #6 (NOV)
Hi,
I've got FreeBSD 2.1 release running on my system and I'm trying to use
my IOmega Ditto 420 internal tape drive (floppy controller) and the g77
fortran compiler package I installed.
The kernel recognizes my tape drive (ft0 Iomega) during the boot up.
I tried to view a tar tape made on a Linux box (ftape module) using:
tar tvf /dev/rft0 and I got a bunch of errors from fdc0. I see there is some
kind of utility called ft, which I tried to use, as per the man page, but
it wanted some volume and label and reported a label on the tape, which I
tried to give it, but it did not like. My tapes are QW - 5122 200MB/400MB
compressed tapes. I would appreciate any help.
I installed the g77 package and then tried to compile a program with it.
The first problem was that it could not find the f771 program, which was in
a different directory than g77 expected it to be. I fixed that by making a
logical link, but then it failed with what seem to be library problems -- not
able to find the library routines for math functions, like sin, cos, etc.
I have the feeling that where the install utility puts the g77 package pieces
and where they were compiled and expected by each other to be are in conflict.
Again, I appreciate any help with getting it to work.
Thanks,
Dirk
