      $ sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.x86_64

4) Back-end (be) fails cannot enable executable stack

   This appears to be a problem with the 32-bit libstdc++5 library and not
   one of the Absoft shared libraries.

   Symptom:
      $ f90 t.f
      /opt/absoft11.0/bin/be: error while loading shared libraries:
      libstdc++.so.5: cannot enable executable stack as shared object
      requires: Permission denied
      be failed.

   Cause:

      There are copies of libstdc++.so.5 installed in $(ABSOFT)/shlib and
      $(ABSOFT)/shlib64 which do not contain the flag with indicates if a
      shared object requires an executable stack.

    Fix:

      Set the flag indicating an executable stack is not required with
      these two commands:

      $ sudo execstack -c $(ABSOFT)/shlib/libstdc++.so.5
      $ sudo execstack -c $(ABSOFT)/shlib64/libstdc++.so.5

      or remove these files completely.

Slackware 13.0 64 bit

NOTE: By default, Slackware64 13.0 is a 64 bit only platform and does not have the ability to run *any* 32 bit
executable program.  The download DVD iso does  not  have the 32 bit packages on it. The first step to getting
Absoft  Fortran 11.0 running is to get any 32 bit program to run. Directions on doing this are available here
http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=slackware:multilib (link valid on 6/1/2010).

There are three requirements which must be met before all of our product will work on Slackware64 13.0:

1) Have to be able to run 32 bit executable programs.

2) Have the 32 bit version of libstdc++.so.5 installed on the system.

3) Have the 64 bit version of libstdc++.so.5 installed on the system.

Following the entire procedure given under "Enabling multilib support on Slackware64" will result in a
system which meets these requirements.

1)  af90fe64 bad ELF interpreter /lib/ld-linux-so.2

   Symptoms:
      $ f90 t.f

           not a dynamic executable

     Fix: make the system capable of running 32 bit applications.

         /opt/absoft11.0/bin/atmod: error while loading shared libraries:

Fix:

--- Installing libstdc++5.0 support on 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 ----------

Links to the required packages (valid 10/6/2010):

64 bit libstdc++.so.5:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/amd64/libstdc++5/download

32 bit libstdc++.so.5:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download

Download the libstdc++.so.5 package for "amd64".  If you are using Firefox, you
will be prompted if you want to "Open with GDebi Package Installer"-select OK
to continue.  Otherwise, save the deb package and use your favorite package
manager to install. Install the amd64 libstdc++ deb package.

By default, the 64 bit libstdc++.so.5 library will install in /usr/lib which
is linked to /usr/lib64.

Now, you also will need the 32bit libstdc++.so.5 installed in /usr/lib32.
Unfortunately, the "i386" version of the libstdc++5 package wants to install
in /usr/lib which is your 64 bit library directory and where you just installed
the "amd64" libraries - so you DON'T want to download and install the "i386"
package into the default location.

We'll need to download the "i386" package to a temporary directory, use dpkg
to extract the contents to the temp directory, then manually copy the library
to /usr/lib32 and create the symbolic link.

First, download libstc++5 package for "i386" - save to disk and do NOT launch
a package manger to install it.  Save it in your 'Downloads' folder or /tmp
(or any other scratch directory). Using your root terminal window, cd to the
directory where you have downloaded the .deb package, it should have a name
similar to 'libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb'.  The exact version is not
important,  but make sure it is a "i386" deb package.

Extract to the local directory:

   dpkg --extract libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb  ./

Notice that a 'usr/' folder was created and the package contents extracted
here.  Now we'll copy the library to /usr/lib32

cd usr/lib
cp libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32
cd /usr/lib32
ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5
