I am beginner in FORTRAN programming, I ran the following simple code:

program ex1 write (,) 'Hello there' end program ex1

I had these error:

ERROR: The executable does not exist

96cb mov [ebp-0x7c],esi Compiling and linking file: hello_there.f95 Access violation: The instruction at address 004196c8 attempted to read from location 0b31f20c 00419426 loadDll(<ptr>char,int) [+02a2]

The 2nd example:

program Year implicit none !this is comment integer yrbirth, currentYr, age character :: name5 write(,) 'Enter ur name' read(,*) name

write(,) 'Enter ur age now' read(,) age

print*,'Enter ur current yera' read(,) currentYr

yrbirth = currentYr - age stop end program year

================= I had this same error: ERROR: The executable does not exist

=======================================

Kindly help me out please!

This appears to be a failure within the linker SLINK but it is very strange.

Are you using Plato to build your executable etc.?

If you know how to use a command line and your file name is say prog.f95, try the commands...

FTN95 prog.f95

then

SLINK prog.obj

Sir, I am using Plato IDE. Kindly guide me on how to use the command line and SLINK prog.obj

You need to open a 'Command Prompt' window and type the commands on the 'Command line'.

However, on reflection I suspect that your copy of SLINK.exe in the FTN95 download has got corrupted. Or maybe there something else in your system that is preventing SLINK from working.

You could try re-installing the Silverfrost package or maybe trying everything on a different machine.

Thanks for your mediate response.

I have done as you said: I made a new download FTN95 Personal Edition (FTN95PE) version 7.10 from 'http://www.silverfrost.com/32/ftn95/ftn95_personal_edition.aspx' version. Those codes compiled without those errors, good news! However, I am unable to see the display of the output. For instance: program io real :: x,y,z print *, 'enter the values x,y and z' read *, x,y,z print *, 'the values you typed are for z,y,x are: ',z,y,x end program io

It compiled, but instead of showing 'print' values at the new plato window, it plato window like command environment showing ' Press RETURN to close window...' It doesn't prompt for any value nor it displays output result. This have re-occurred on many trials on various examples. How may I fixed this?

My system OS is Window 7 64bit Home Premium

Thanks

Malik,

Your first example hello.f95 is used to test the compiler was successfully installed. This test has clearly failed and the problem is with the install procedure you have used. You need to investigate why this occurred. Did you have sys-admin rights when installing ?

John

Definitely I installed as a System Administrator. Give an hint on how to go about the troubleshooting.

Thanks

If you can build and run this program in Plato and you get 'Press RETURN to close the window' then you should also see before it 'enter the values of x,y,z'.

Maybe this output has scrolled out of view.

It looks to me, Malik, that your problem could be fixed in about 10 minutes with face to face instruction. Where are you? In the unlikely event that you are somewhere within about 30 miles SW of London, I'll help.

Because FTN95 can be run in several different ways, you will get conflicting advice from a variety of people here, all trying to be helpful, but just confusing matters.
