Error regarding compiler conflict in mpich installation with fortran support

Error:

The selected Fortran 90 compiler /usr/bin/gfortran does not work with the selected Fortran 77 compiler ....

This happens when you have both fort77 and gfortran installed on your machine. As a solution, use variables F77 and F90 both pointing to the gfortran. The configure command should look like;

$./configure --prefix=<install-dir> --enable-f77 FC=/usr/bin/gfortran    F77=/usr/bin/gfortran


Installing fortran compilers

to install gfortran:

$ sudo apt-get install gfortran


to install f77

$ sudo apt-get install fort77

sudo does not modify file - permission denied

see this

Quote: "This is a common problem with sudo and shell redirection. The "sudoness" doesn't propagate past the redirection. One way to get around it is"

sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /path/to/file"

Plotting uneven data on x-axis in gnuplot

In order to plot uneven data on x-axis in gnu plot, we have to do a little bit of modification

For example; Consider the data

#Procs SomeValue
1              1
2              2
4              4
8              8
16            16
32            32
64            64

we want to play #Procs on x-axis which if we use simle plot and 'using 1:2' it will be uneven.

what you need to do is;

plot the graph as '2:xticlabels(1)' , rest is as-it-is

- remove xrange
- keep yrange
