[Aurora-sparc-user] f771: error: invalid option `align-double'

[Stephen Ware]

I've installed Aurora Linux on an old Sun Ultra 10, and am attempting
to build from source a quantum chemistry analysis program called
GAMESS (http://www.msg.ameslab.gov/gamess/).  When I try to build the
source, I keep getting the error:

f771: error: invalid option `align-double'

I looked this up on the g77 webpage:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/g77/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options
which says that this option applies to Intel x86 architectures only.
I tried simply removing this option from the shell scripts that build
GAMESS, but the resulting binaries did not function properly.  I am
not sure if removing this option is what caused the problem or not,
but if anyone is familiar with this error, please let me know what I
can do to fix it without affecting the GAMESS code.

Also, on a sidenote, I'm still looking for drivers for the Seagate
Metalist 9140.  If anyone knows where I can find them, please send me
a link.  Aurora does not seem to recognize my Metalist harddrives.

Thanks very much,
Stephen
