I am setting up a pentium III system intending to set up LINUX and compiling qunatum chemistry codes (e.g. MOLCAS). I have done this before with Redhat, and have considered RH 6.0, but have found the egcs g77 (which comes with RedHat) gives me some problems (in particaular the code compiles fine, but gives terribly wrong answers in several of my calculations, using the same inputs and version of the program soem friends have obtained correct results so I am led to the conclusion that it is likely the compilation/OS) THus, my question is: Can anyone recommend a distribution of LINUX that comes with a FORTRAN compiler that is fairly robust? (My system has 256Mbytes of mem and perhaps more in the near future and a large IDE hard drive, in case these details are important in your considerations) I realize that one can purchase Compilers as well, but $ are not exactly falling from the trees, so compilers including in the LINUX OS or freely available via ftp are of prime interest. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
