Dear David & BB'ers

As Harry suggests, this may be a problem with the local memory settings
- I'm aware of several successful compilations of the whole suite under
v5.0, which also defaults to f90 when "f77" is invoked.

I understand that it is true that you can use the "-old_f77" option, but
in preparing the release of 4.1 we tried to make compilation compatible
with the most up-to-date compilers, as a matter of policy. So if you
have further information about this or similar problems under Tru64 Unix
or other o/s's then please let us know - we are always eager to try and
address these issues.

Finally (although it wouldn't have helped in this case) can I again
remind people about the CCP4 problems page at

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/problems.html

(for problems specific to 4.1*) and its sibling, the general problems
page, at

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/problems/general-probs.html

(for non-version-specific problems, or issues relevant to particular
o/s's)

Best wishes

Peter.
