It is taking me an extremely long time to download the ROOT trunk with svn (is this normal?) but in the meantime I can confirm that the output on a Debian Sid system of these commands is reasonable, and the files exist:

benjo (sid)[19]:~% gfortran -print-file-name=libgfortranbegin.a /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgfortranbegin.a benjo (sid)[20]:~% gfortran -print-file-name=libgfortran.so /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgfortran.so

(Note, /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.2.3 is a symlink to the directory "4.2" at the same location, but that shouldn't make any difference.)

Also I used the viewcvs Web interface to look specifically at the fix that was made to the config/Makefile.linux, and this seems OK.

If anything bad turns up when I try the build I will let you know. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow you can assume things went OK. Note, I'll try it without any version of g77 installed, to be sure everything is done cleanly.

best regards,
