inline_fortran is STILL broken on OS X

[benjaminfjones]

Despite #7465 being closed as "worksforme", the following snippet in the notebook in Sage-5.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 fails.

%fortran          	
C FILE: FIB1.F
      SUBROUTINE FIB(A,N)
C
C     CALCULATE FIRST N FIBONACCI NUMBERS
C
      INTEGER N
      REAL*8 A(N)
      DO I=1,N
         IF (I.EQ.1) THEN
            A(I) = 0.0D0
         ELSEIF (I.EQ.2) THEN
            A(I) = 1.0D0
         ELSE 
            A(I) = A(I-1) + A(I-2)
         ENDIF
      ENDDO
      END
C END FILE FIB1.F

Here is the error in full: ​http://pastebin.com/iVBkjckp

Looking through the convoluted ticket relationships (#7465, #8010, etc..) it looks like numpy spkg was patched to fix the problem with the -shared link flag at some point, and sometime later the numpy was upgraded (perhaps making the patch unnecessary (??)) and now it might be some other issue having to do with the gcc/gfortran spkg. Just a guess.

Umm, there is something really odd here. The flags passed seem to indicate something went quite wrong. For instance, one bit is

/var/folders/f4/881mfg491yxdf3zx37ynf5580000gn/T/tmpSLdvBd/Users/bael/.sage/temp/Baels_MacBook_Air.local/2689/tmp_0.o -LUsing built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gfortran COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/Users/bael/sage/sage-5.0.1/local/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0/4.6.3/lto-wrapper /Users/bael/sage/sage-5.0.1/local/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0/4.6.3 -l gfortran -o ./fortran_module_0.so -l gfortran -shared-libgcc

What the heck?

-LUsing built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gfortran 

No wonder the errors look like

gfortran: error: built-in: No such file or directory
gfortran: error: specs.: No such file or directory
gfortran: error: COLLECT_GCC=gfortran: No such file or directory

I don't know how that verbiage got passed there, though.

Anyway, since

/Users/bael/sage/sage-5.0.1/local/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0/4.6.3" -lgfortran -o ./fortran_module_0.so" failed with exit status 1

that means it's no surprise that at the end

    os.unlink(name + '.so')
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'fortran_module_0.so'

though that is just a symptom.

Does ticket:8010:attachment:trac-8010_numpy.patch (sorry, can't get the link right) look like it might solve it for you, just on the off chance? One would have to make a new spkg, of course. But the patch was never applied, to my knowledge.

[kcrisman]

Wait, there is no sage_fortran any more, so that doesn't make sense to apply anyway. And the ​current numpy code has

'linker_so'    : [None, "-g", "-Wall"],

so the shared business can't be the issue, or at least not in exactly the same way.

I can also confirm that this is not just a Lion issue; the same happens on 10.6.
