[BioC] Problem installing hexbin?

[Robert Gentleman]

it seems fine on our Suse Box with
rgentlem at gladstone:~> gfortran --version
GNU Fortran 95 (GCC 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux))
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
and:
  gfortran -fPIC -c hbin.f -o hbin.o

does what I think it is supposed to do.
So I suspect that something else is wrong.

I do see tabs not spaces in the file (which could cause some problems I 
suspect).

To find the source down load the package, untar it and look in
hexbin/src
you could try changing all tabs to the right number of spaces and see if 
that fixes things.

note the file also declares
         implicit none
and then does define a type for shape.

  best wishes
