Problem installing mingw version of gfortran

[Peter Broer]

When I install the latest version of gfortran from 
http://quatramaran.ens.fr/~coudert/gfortran/gfortran-windows.exe, and 
try to compile and link the following simple programme

      program test_matmul
        implicit none
        integer a(2,3),b(3),c(2),d(2)

        a = reshape((/1,2,2,3,3,4/),shape(a))
        print '(3I3)',a
        b = (/1,2,3/)
        c = (/1,1/)
        d = c + matmul(a,b)
        print '(3I3)',d
        stop
      end

with the command

gfortran matmul.for

I get the following error messages:

more undefined references to `__mingw_snprintf' follow

my "path" environment is:

PATH=c:\Program

The installer puts the gfortran links at the back of the path, since 
that didn't work, I copied them to the front, which doesn't work either.

I uninstalled, and reinstalled the version of August 2007 (gcc version 
4.3.0), which compiles and runs fine.
