gfortran Mac packages: call for testing

[Paul van Delst]

Hello,

I haven't seen too many replies so I hope posting this to the list is 
still o.k.

I upgraded to Mavericks (and it's associated Xcode update) last week and 
installed the OS X 10.9 gfortran package last Friday. The install was 
painless (thankyouthankyouthankyou) and everything worked out of the box.

I built the netCDF4 libraries (HDF5 and netCDF4.2 Fortran interfaces) 
with no problems and have been using them in my fortran code just like I 
was doing in lion with a v4.6 gfortran release (I skipped the mountain 
lion update).

So, thank you very much for putting together the OSX packages for 
gfortran 4.8.2.

cheers,

paulv

p.s. The only suggestion that I can think to make is to register your 
packages with Apple to stop all the warning bells and whistles that go 
off when one starts the installation (at least, they did for me). 
However, given the information gathering/sharing that may (or may not 
be!) going on these days, I would understand if you decided not to. :o)

p.p.s. My p.s. requires the disclaimer: I do not speak for my employer 
or NOAA. And they don't speak for me. :o)
