[SAC-HELP] 64 bit SAC2000

[Fiona Darbyshire]

Hello,

I recently got a new post and ended up having to switch everything I have
from UNIX to Linux, and it´s a 64-bit system that I´m on. I obtained the
standard Linux version of SAC which in itself works just fine. But the thing
to watch out for is Fortran programs that use the SAC libraries (e.g.
programs that use utilities like rsac,wsac etc.); they have a compatibility
problem with 64-bit architecture. The solution is fortunately simple: when
compiling anything that uses SAC utilities, you´ll need to add the flag "
-m32 " to your f77/g77 command, then it´ll recognise and account for 32-bit
architecture in a 64-bit system. I think there´s some information about -m32
in f77/g77 documentation.

Hope this helps,

Fiona.
