First, immense kudos to Andy V. for the amazing g95 gift to the world.

I previously have been successful in installing g95 on a HP-UX
platform, and yesterday I tried installing it on a Sun Solaris
platform, by dowloading the tar file containing the precompiled
binary, then installing according to the instructions. When I execute
g95 on the Sun workstation, I get the following error message:

% g95 --version
ld.so.1: g95: fatal: libiconv.so.2: can't open file: errno=2
Killed

I would like to know if that library is something I'm supposed to
have, or if it is something that is missing from g95. Any suggestions
would be appreciated, since I have to get a project done quickly there
and I was hoping to be able to use Fortran 95 rather than 77, or C.

FYI, the following result is returned from the command "uname -a":
SunOS anteng4 5.5.1 Generic_103640-22 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-10

I get the same error on another SunOS machine where I also tried to
install g95. The result of typing "uname -a" on that machine is:
tigger 5.8 Generic_108528-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

If there is an email address to which I'm supposed to report problems
with g95, I couldn't find it on the g95 page (www.g95.org). I did
find Andy's email address there and sent him a message similar to
this, but haven't received a reply (yet, at least).

Thanks in advance for any help,
Peter Simon
