[XForms] c++ xforms code segfaults

[Robert Williams]

To subscribers of the xforms list

Dear Jens,

Yes, I did solve this problem, primarily by
including "-lgfortran" in my link list.   This is
probably not something of general interest,
but it does put a stress test on the xforms library,
linking C++, C, and Fortran libraries, that
it appears to have passed nicely. 

Here is the top of my Makefile:

CPP=g++ #-ggdb3
#CPP=gcc #
FC=gfortran #-ggdb3
LIBS= -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 \
     -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXaw -lforms \
     -Lpgplot -lcpgplot -lpgplot \
     -lgfortran -lfftw3 -lm
FFLAGS=-c -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11 -I/usr/local/include
FCFLAGS=-c -ffixed-line-length-none -ff2c

The full source of this project, with screenshots, is at:

The executable produced
by the new XForms library does appear to have a few tics
that I'll have to sort out.

Thanks,
Bob
