trouble with initializing array of complex type

Hi,
This problem seems strange to me. Hope I can get some help or hint from
you.
Let's first look at this following code:
************************CODE
1******************************************
program cmpx_init
complex, dimension(1:9):: a0
integer:: i

do i = 1,9
a0(i) = (0.1*i, 0.1*i)
end do

write(*,*) a0

end program cmpx_init
*************************************************************************
When compiled with g95, it gives me this error message:

In file cmpx_init.f90:6

a0(i) = (0.1*i, 0.1*i)
1
Error: Expected a right parenthesis in expression at (1)

With PGI Fortran 90 compiler, it also gives an error at this step.
I found out that the problem is with the variable "i" in the
initialization
expression, that is, when that expression is replaced by "a0(i) = (0.1,
0.1)",
the code will compile. What strikes me most is that the following code,
for a
real type array, compiles without any error or warning message. How can
a real array and a
complex array be treated so differently?

*****************************CODE
2****************************************
program real_init
real, dimension(1:9):: a0
integer:: i

do i = 1,9
a0(i) = 0.1*i
end do

write(*,*) a0

end program real_init
******************************************************************************

Any input is welcome. Programming with Fortran is really a hard thing,
to me.
Best regards,
Qingshan
