nonmem installation on Linux

Please let me know if anyone can help. I basically use setup script using g77 -O -ff99 options as suggested by other Linux users. The problem does not appear to be discussed in the users group before. After installation, I tried CONTROL3, CONTROL5 and CONTROL7. There is an error msg at the end of the run- 'Segmentation fault', the nonmem run stop after 0 iteration as indicated in the output file. I found 2 error warnings only in /nm/emsgs.txt. I was able to fix one error, but not the other error- [Reference to unimplemented intrinsic 'SCALE' (assumed EXTERNAL)]. The SCALE.f seems to compiled with no problem. I tried to add SCALE.o in nonmem.exe compiling step. It made no difference. There seems to be some bugs in my Linux system. I tried to download all the update from redhat. But, it also made no difference. Any tip you might have would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't usually a problem when compiling the code, but can be when using the control files upon execution of NONMEM. The solution is to pass the text files through the Linux/UNIX formating program dos2unix (use: dos2unix filename). This will put the correct end-of-line formating in the file and should solve your problem. BTW, unix2dos does just the opposite--converts Linux/UNIX style text formating into MS-DOS style formating. --Larry

If this problem is only unique to my Linux system, I may need to install a debugger to find the bug.
