Linking IDL with FORTRAN routines under UNIX [message #192] Thu, 19 September 1991 15:21

To those who use IDL along with Fortran in a UNIX environment:

I am attempting to call external user-written FORTRAN library subprograms
using the IDL call_external command. I am on a UNIX 4.1 operating
system and IDL version 2.1 (although I have only 2.0 manuals and the
2.1 online help does not include some of the Chapters with examples.)

The folks at RSI suggest that this may only be possible if I pass subprogram
parameters first through an "interface" program in written in C, which
then calls the FORTRAN subprogram. However, they can not provide me with
a working example, because they do not have a FORTRAN compiler.

Has anyone out there successfully called user-written FORTRAN routines from
an IDL routine? Under UNIX? I would greatly appreciate an example (including
the explicit compile and load commands and the IDL call).

E-MAIL directly on internet: lord@galileo.arc.nasa.gov or Span:

thanks
Steve Lord
