Dave,
thx. for the clarification about the apostrophes!
As to -fno-leading-underscore: I had this in my cygwin gcc3.* makefiles
now for a couple of years (dunno where it originated).
Compiles & links fine without! It's gone down the crapper for good...
Now I'm one happy gcc4/gfortran guy!
Thanks again for your knowlegdable help!
