There aren't any instructions there. That's just a mail from somebody
asking how to get a libg2c (it'll come in the package it comes from, of
course). So I repeat my question.
Oh - are you talking not about the link you gave, but the REPLY to it
by danny van dyk?
libg2c is part of gcc. Actually, it is gcc's internal replacement for
libf2c, the FORTRAN to C wrapper's library. What you need is a
FORTRAN enabled gcc package:
./configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
There you are. He tells you to get one of the gcc pacakges (and nicely
gives you a hint as to what compile options to choose in case you
happen to decide to compile it yourself instead of using one of the
packages prepared for you by your distro - something you don't
sound anywhere near doing!).
Why don't you just install the package he directs you to?

I even TOLD you what to google for! Why would you google for anything
else? The answer is there in the first or second link on the answer
page.

Why would you care? You don't know what an electron spin value is, but
you manage to switch on the light every day! You don't care WHAT the
script is, but you have to know if it is THERE or not for you to execute
it, and you have to know what PERMISSIONS it has if it is sitting there
in front of you. So tell us.

I've stated them, exactly. YOU have to start from the beginning - YOU
have to say what you are doing - YOU can't just say "I ran blahbla"
because "bla bla" is the NAME OF A FILE, and IT SHOULD BE THERE FOR YOU
TO DECIDE TO RUN IT, so it makes no sense to tell us you ran it without
telling us where you got it from, and why you are running it, and what
its permissions are, etc.!
Look - go get a clue. You're acting like you're plain crazy, probably
because you haven't got the faintest idea what anything you are saying
or being told means. To the people who understand the words you are
speaking it sounds like you are speaking and acting like a madman. You
have to fix your comprehension before other people can talk to you in a
common language. Go get the appropriate package from your dvd and
install it. Your package manager will tell you all you need to know.
