Hello,

I'm using Lahey Fortran compiler lf9561 on Linux.

I compile the program with the lahey automake feature... I can execute it on the same machine...
Now, I m trying to distribute my program : I mean, I want to run it on an other linux machine, which does not have the lahey compiler installed.

The error message is the following :
---
myProgram : error while loading shared libraries: libfj9i6.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
---

I ve tried to use the --staticlink option in the automake.fig file (line: 'LINK =' ), but I got the same error on the other machine.

Is there someone to help me and explain me how the static and shared libraries work?
How can I create libraries that I can distribute with the program? Do I have to rebuild my program and what does it mean?

Don't know about Lahey but what you need is something like libfj9i6.a

In fact, all the libraries should end with .a instead of .so.  Then you will get a static link but be warned: it will be *HUGE*.

Presumably lf95 issues an ld or an ar command depending on what it gets.  The ar command will create a static link for you.
