you are running the program without providing it with a source file to compile. If you wrote a file called code.f, and wanted to compile it, you would need to do something like this:

gFortran code.f

you might need some arguments to tell it what to do with it (make an exe, an object file, whatever). I would try it with nothing first, and see what happens.

btw: fortran77 does not use pointers, and because of this, compilers can be smarter at things like figuring out what memory to keep in the CPU registers. This makes it a little faster then C code. Fortran90 and anything newer does. The only real reason to use that, is for people who know Fortran.

When your running a blast analysis program that takes 10 hours to run, every minute counts.
