How to run a csh script to install f2c?

  • 772

I need to install f2c in Linux. Given the steps;

  1. Download installation script : Download install_f2c_linux.csh.

  2. Run installation script

    # chmod +x install_f2c_linux.csh
# ./install_f2c_linux.csh

I run the second step in the root and user directory. But, it says

curl: Command not found.
tar: f2c.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
gunzip: No match.
f2c: No such file or directory.

How to solve the problem?

  1. FORTRAN 77 to C/C++ translator is already packaged in Ubuntu repositories as f2c package.

    You can install it with:

    sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install f2c

    Note: develop new good habit - before trying to compile something manually visit http://packages.ubuntu.com and search for needed application here.

  2. You have to install curl:

    sudo apt install curl

    But it is better to use the Ubuntu rep and install with:

    sudo apt-get install f2c

    as N0rbert posted.
