What's the name of your standard Fortran library?

Slatec's functions call functions in the standard Fortran library. You need to know the name of the standard Fortran library on your system in order to tell the C compiler to link with it. The Fortran compiler's documentation should contain this information. Use a standard Fortran library which is up to date and contains all the functions needed by Slatec. Suggestions: If you are running IBM AIX, the name is likely xlf or xlf90; (xlf90 is probably more up to date). On a DEC it may be F77. If you cannot find the name of the standard Fortran library you can still compile your program using the second method to compile (read onward the section on Compiling).
