[ale] anyone know how2 check a ...gcc... installation ?

[James P. Kinney III]

The best way to do a compiler test is to take a know-good, small app
that does nothing more than a println (my Fortran is getting rusty...)
and compile it.

You can also test some more complicated routines with Numerical Recipes
in Fortran. Be sure to check the errata first as the last copy I was
using (1997ish) had several errors in routines I was using.
