Sorry for the off-topic post, but there is such a wealth of knowledge here that I thought someone might have suggestions. Geoff MacLachlan and David Peel have a program - EMMIX - available for mixture modelling. It is only available as FORTRAN source code and is "downloadable" from Geoff's site. The code is reputed to run on Unix machines and is compilable according to instructions posted on the web site simply as: f77 -o emmix emmix.f I've downloaded the program onto my Linux (RedHat 7.3) box and tried to compile it. I get hundreds of errors that result in f77 "giving up" in "confusion". I have no idea whether the f77 that comes with RH Linux is the same as what we have on our "mainframe" (running Sun 0S 5.8), but I get the same cascade of errors on the big box as on my Linux workstation. I emailed Geoff about this, but he's referred my question on to David Peel. While I wait for David's answer, let me ask two questions of this group: 1) has anyone here successfully compiled EMMIX from the source code supplied on MacLachlan's site? 2) is the f77 that comes with RH Linux the same as or significantly different from that on Unix boxes?

Unlike the GNU C compiler, which is pretty competitive with commercial offerings, the Fortran compiler is a bit more limited. It supports just about all the ANSI Fortran 77 standard, but there are a lot of programs out there that don't agree with the standard. It's much worse than C, where declaring main() as void is about the only really common usage that conflicts with the standard. The g77 manual has two sections that might be useful: 'Collected Fortran Wisdom' and "Known Causes of Trouble with GNU Fortran" -thomas -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Marc, I did a web search and found EMMIX, downloaded it and compiled. The
last error message was:
EMMIX.f: In subroutine `hiercon':
EMMIX.f:2413:
INCLUDE 'EMMIX.max'
^
Unable to open INCLUDE file `EMMIX.max' at (^)
so I went back and downloaded EMMIX.max. Then it compiled fine.
I guess you forgot to read the error message.
Best,
G?ran
