[Rd] gfortran: Command not found

[Spencer Graves]

Dear Professors Ripley and Murdoch: 

      Thanks very much for the suggestion to upgrade my Rtools.  That 
fixed the problem. 

      Another question:  How do people typically debug problems linking 
to legacy Fortran?  For example, is there a reasonable (open source) 
debugger for gfortran?  In the DierckxSpline package, Sundar Dorai-Raj 
and I link R to Fortran written by Paul Dierckx in 1979, last updated in 
1987.  We've encountered segmentation errors killing R, which are 
difficult to diagnose. 

      Thanks again.
