Link error using F90 on Itanium

JUP — Mon, 13 Dec 2004 21:16:52 GMT

Hi - I'm trying to port my fortan app to Itanium B.11.23 from PA-RISC 11.00.
I'm using the following F90 compiler:

B3909DB B.11.23.08 HP Fortran 90 compiler and associated products (S800) for HP-UX 11.2x

The source code files appear to compile ok,but when linking I get:

ld: (Warning) Unsatisfied symbol "main" in file /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so
1 warnings.

The binary is created but I'm concerned about this warning.

I'm using HP32 flag in the F90 compiler.

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be ?

Thank you in advance
JUP

You probably want to test this application very thoroughly.

Here are a couple of links that reference the error. I'd want to know what line of code generated it prior to proceeding but that may not be possible.

Thanks SEP for your reply - however neither of the two links work - a message appears on the bottom of the IE window that reads "Error on page".

Can you confirm if these links are indeed correct ?

Thanks again

I'm sorry a year old upgrade corrupted certain itrc content. The posts were exact matches for your error.

I suggest a Boolean search with your error message of itrc posts. Some of the content may have survied the upgrade.

Apologies, when the search engine gives me high scores on a search I sometimes link without a read.

If it werre c or c++ I'd say an improper use of a variable or function. It could also be the unavailability of a needed resource file that is not available on your Itanium machine. Probably it wasn't provided with the OS or compiler.

I don't believe this effort merits points unless my search advice pans out.
