Who uses gdb + fortran?

[Arjan van Dijk <a.vandijk@phys.uu.nl>]

Hi,

Last week I had problems running gdb on a fortran program. I'm still
looking for someone who uses the combination of gdb + fortran.

Problem: how do I get the value of a variable?

According to the gdb manual the command

"print MAIN__::i"

should give the value of variable "i" in the main program. The result of
this command is just

"A parse error in expression, near ':i'.

Only when I use the "display" command instead of "print", and set the
display BEFORE I say "run" in gdb, then I get the values.

HELP!!!

Arjan
