Re: [ferret_users] LET/LIKE=

[Martin Schmidt <martin.schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

it should be a bug introduced by your compiler or python or both. It 
works with my pyferret, not starting as python module but directly.

I build myself from scratch with gcc-7 and python/3.7.4. The latter is 
installed with a miniconda and "seems" to be based on gcc-7 too, so all 
fortran related libraries (and others) should fit well, libgfortran.so.4 
is linked in.

All the best,

Martin

(ferret is a script arranging the environment and calling pyferret.)
