BMS + FORTRAN

[David Lawrence <davidl@jlab.org>]

Hi Folks,

    I just committed a change to the Makefile system (in src/BMS) and 
Makefile.bms in the HDGeant directory. This addresses the issue of 
gfortran vs. g77. We are currently in the middle of a transition from 
the older GNU fortran compiler g77 to the new GNU fortran compiler 
gfortran. Linux distributions that are more than 2-3 years old tend to 
have gcc3 and g77 installed while newer systems tend to have gcc4 and 
gfortran installed.The availability of gfortran seems to correlate with 
whether a system has gcc3 or gcc4 installed.

    The problem was addressed in an ad hoc way previously, but that 
solution failed miserably on RHEL5 (thanks to Beni for pointing this 
out). The new solution may not yet be bullet-proof so if you run into 
problems, let me know along with details as to the type of system you're 
using. I have tested this on RHEL5, FC6, Ubuntu6, and Mac OS X 10.4.

   Regards,
-David
