Thanks for reporting this. I think the problem is that the code is calling the same C function with a scalar argument in some places and an array in others. That's probably not strictly allowed, but older compilers didn't check.

I've pushed a workaround for this to master. If you download the latest master and run ./autogen.sh in the source directory then configure and compile as normal it should work. The configure script now checks if the compiler accepts the flag "-fallow-argument-mismatch", which downgrades the error to a warning.

If you can't run autogen.sh (e.g. no autotools installed) then you could try compiling the 1.1.1 release with "-fallow-argument-mismatch" added to the FCFLAGS variable. E.g.

./configure FCFLAGS="-O2 -g -fopenmp -fallow-argument-mismatch"

The right way to fix this would be to use the iso_c_binding module to call C functions, but I probably wont have time to do that in the next few weeks. Most compilers didn't support iso_c_binding when I originally wrote gadgetviewer.

Thanks, that problem is fixed now. I now get a new error I've added in a separate issue (#12).
