Hi!
I have another issue,

6 months ago, in Fedora 11, I have compiled dftb+ without problems (I  
cannot remember the version of g95 but I guess is 4.3.4). Now with gcc  
4.4.2, in other machine, but still Fedora 11, I get an error related  
with unrecognizing erfc at linking time.
I guess that this erfc is not the intrinsic one, right? so, i have  
played with -fno-underscoring a little bit but still the same results,  
anyone can help me?
If erfc is the intrinsic one, then I have an error of gcc.
Libraries Lapack, atlas and blas as well as libgfortran are at the  
same place "/usr/lib/atlas/"


cheers,

gerardo
