my great thanks! It was hugely helpful! I did it, and now I've got latex installed. About ratfor90: I do have it on my old computer running ubuntu (issue 12); my friend installed it, but he moved by now. Is there any way how I can transfer ratfor90 from my old comp to my new laptop? (be aware please that I am a dumb user; but I see clearly that you have experience talking to the guys like me..:-)Al Kap– Al Kap2016-08-03 10:12:26 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2016 at 10:12

Dear Faheem -- I just installed okular, it works, but keeps reporting a lot of errors or some differences, although the output seems to be OK. Still, acroread was nice, and I always prefer to have some backup tools...Al Kap– Al Kap2016-08-03 10:35:54 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2016 at 10:35

@AlKap It looks like acroread is still available on www.deb-multimedia.org, if you really want to install it. Though I don't recommend it - it's unmaintained.Faheem Mitha– Faheem Mitha2016-08-03 18:48:50 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2016 at 18:48

Is launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ratfor the ratfor you had in mind?Faheem Mitha– Faheem Mitha2016-08-03 18:50:50 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2016 at 18:50

Faheem, no, not that one (the one you pointed out is an "old" ratfor that worked for fortran77, What I am looking for, is usually called ratfor90, designed specifically for the fortran90 (and beyond), in particular with gfortran. Most of all, it knows how to do dynamic allocations, and how to work with "objects". It is a great tool, and used by now by many people who use contemporary fortrans...Al Kap– Al Kap2016-08-04 11:18:41 +00:00Commented Aug 4, 2016 at 11:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
