Am having some trouble compiling a simple fortran program on my M1 MacBook Air. I am using the latest MacOS, Monterey 12.3.1, and the latest version of Xcode. I installed Homebrew and gcc to update my old version of gfortran. The fortran program on my desktop will compile when I use the command gfortran -c skippy.f, producing the executable file skippy.o on my desktop. But I can’t get the executable file to run. I am an amateur and am really not that familiar with the unix commands, etc. Can someone give me some advice on this? Thanks.
