CERNLIB 2005 and 2006 (64 bit)
compatible with the gcc10/gfortran compiler suite

Dec 11, 2020:   new CERNLIB 2005 patches for gcc10

Feb 03, 2019:   CERNLIB 2006 on newer Linux systems

# On Ubuntu 18.04 / x86_64, the system provided CERNLIB 2006 and its
# executables misbehave. Most probably, the same problems appear in
# all recent distributions. Until a proper fix is found, one needs to
# make sure that all FORTRAN code is compiled with "-O" (i.e. "-O1")
# and not with the default "-O3" (even "-O2" results in misbehavior).
# Below you can find the whole procedure which applies some small
# patches to the "cernlib" source code and then rebuilds and installs
# everything from scratch. This procedure (and the patches) should be
# fine for any distribution, which uses some new Debian's "cernlib"
# source code (older versions are NOT o.k. at all with any gcc 5+):
#   cernlib_20061220+dfsg3-4.3ubuntu2
#   cernlib_20061220+dfsg3-4.3ubuntu1
#   cernlib_20061220+dfsg3-4.3build1
#   cernlib_20061220+dfsg3-4.3
# Note: if no "debuild" then "sudo apt-get install devscripts".

Jan 21, 2019:   new CERNLIB 2005 patches

Jul 23, 2014:   new CERNLIB 2005 patches

Jul 04, 2013 (Ubuntu warning added Oct 31, 2013):   CERNLIB 2006 on newer Linux systems

See, for example:
https://userweb.jlab.org/~marki/cernlib_on_debian/cernlib/
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/cernlib.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/paw.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/geant321.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/mclibs.git
http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/cfortran.git

If you prefer a monolithic SRPM package, you may try to have a look at older Fedora Project distributions ("equivalent" to Debian's "2006.dfsg.2-14" patchset, according to the included "CHANGELOG" file). Note that they also provide a separate "cernlib-g77" package ("equivalent" to Debian's "2006.dfsg.2-13" patchset, according to the included "CHANGELOG" file).
See, for example:
http://rpms.lip.pt/pub/f18/source/cernlib-2006-35.fc18.ndias.src.rpm
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/source/SRPMS/cernlib-2006-35.fc14.src.rpm
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cernlib.git/
http://rpms.lip.pt/pub/f18/source/cernlib-g77-2006-33.fc18.ndias.src.rpm
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/16/Everything/source/SRPMS/cernlib-g77-2006-33.fc12.src.rpm
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cernlib-g77.git/

A small additional note concerning Ubuntu ... it seems that in Ubuntu releases 11.10, 12.04 (LTS), 12.10 and 13.04 some of their CERNLIB 2006 related binary and development packages are "broken" (they are actually "empty" inside). For example, one of these "broken" packages is the "llibpdflib804-2-dev" in the version "20061220+dfsg3-1build1":

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mclibs/+bug/1089411

Looking at all available Ubuntu "libpdflib804-2-dev" versions it can be seen that the old Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) uses "2006.dfsg.2-5ubuntu3" and then the newest Ubuntu 13.10 uses "20061220+dfsg3-3". In both these cases, when one clicks the "List of files in package", one can see all required libraries and include files inside (so these packages are not "empty").

Jun 26, 2013:   CERNLIB 2005 for gfortran on newer Linux systems

The problem is that, on these systems, "Xm" coming from OpenMotif will try to use "Xft" which in turn will try to use "freetype", which is actually the "freetype2" there (this problem does not appear when "Xm" comes from LessTif).

The CERNLIB "builder" is not prepared for it. The simplest brutal fix is to create an appropriate "backwards compatibility" symbolic link, either in the CERNLIB source tree:

    mkdir -p 2005/src/include
    ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype 2005/src/include/

    cd /usr/include
    sudo ln -s freetype2/freetype ./

Aug 04, 2010:   New version of CERNLIB for gcc-4.4 and gfortran

Then, in order to make the patched CERNLIB 2005 installation as "smooth" as possible on many new systems, he created a set of "patched" installation scripts cernlib.2005.install.2010.08.01.tgz (see also the "README_cernlib" file included in that tarball.

Both these tarballs have been tested with several gcc versions (and gfortran):
gcc 4.2.1 on openSUSE 10.3/i586
gcc 4.3.2 on openSUSE 11.1/x86_64
gcc 4.4.1 on openSUSE 11.2/x86_64
gcc 4.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04/i686

Aug 05, 2009:   New version of CERNLIB for gcc-4.3.2 and gfortran

Feb 23, 2007:   Examples of the C / Fortran interface updated

    cd $CERN
    gtar -zxvf cernlib.2005.corr.tgz
    cd $CERN_ROOT
    mkdir include
    export CERN_INCLUDEDIR=$CERN_ROOT/include
    cd $CERN_ROOT/build
    gmake install.include

Feb 9, 2007:   LAPACK installation script modified

Dec 12, 2006:   Reorganization of the CERNLIB distribution

    download cernlib-2005-all.tgz to your installation directory
    run "gtar -zxf cernlib-2005-all-new.tgz"
    run "./Install_cernlib"
