Hi,
I am trying to compile a fortran program. I have Fedora Core 5 - k8 SMP

Sounds like a compiler bug, although that's probably cold comfort at this point if you're just trying to get some work done.

The problem is *probably* triggered by something unusual in your code. If you trim the file down as much as possible without making the problem go away and then post it here (if it's small enough), someone might have an idea of what to do.

(My wild guess: Any chance you're declaring an array big enough to wrap around a signed 32-bit location counter? No? OK. It was just a guess.)

Even if you can work around this easily, Absoft would probably be interested in hearing about it (assuming that you're using the latest version of their compiler).
