Creating Python C module from Fortran sources on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- by Botondus
In a project I work on we use a Python C module compiled from Fortran with f2py. I've had no issues building it on Windows 7 32bit (using mingw32) and on the servers it's built on 32bit Linux.
But I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit on my laptop that I use for development, and when I build it I get a lot of warnings (even though I've apparently installed all gcc/fortran libraries/compilers), but it does finish the build. However when I try to use the built module in the application, most of it seems to run well but then it crashes with an error:
* glibc detected /home/botondus/Envs/gasit/bin/python: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0000000006a44760 **
Warnings on running *f2py -c -m module_name ./fortran/source.f90*

I have tried building a 32bit version by installing the gfortran multilib packages and running f2py with -m32 option (but with no success):
f2py -c -m module_name ./fortran/source.f90 --f77flags="-m32" --f90flags="-m32"
Any suggestions on what I could try to either build 32bit version or correctly build the 64bit version?
Edit: It looks like it crashes right at the end of a subroutine. The 'write' executes fine... which is strange.
write(6,*)'Eh=',Eh
end subroutine calcolo_involucro
The full backtrace is very long and I'm not sure if it's any help, but here it is:
