Cannot build examples/ on Ubuntu with gfortran / fort77 / ifx with current BLAS / LAPACK libraries

[flor1an42]

With the following modifications on make_Unix, I got the receip lib for building slicot.a and lpkaug.a sucessfully compiled, but the receipe example failed.

make -f makefile_Unix lib
make -f makefile_Unix example

FORTRAN = gfortran
OPTS = -O3 -shared -fPIC -llapacke -llapack -lrefblas -lgfortran -lopenblas -lopenlapack -lblas
BLASLIB      = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/blas/libblas.a
LAPACKLIB    = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lapack/liblapack.a

Without the modified OPTS flags, the compiler gets stuck on ./TAB01ND <AB01ND.dat >AB01ND.exa .

With the gfortran and fort77 I get the following error output:

and with the ifx fortran compiler the following:

My conclusion is that ifx has an implementation of for_set_fpe_ which is not available at gfortran and fort77.
Also all three fortran compiles lacks of _gfortran_st_write.

I think long time ago the Fortran compiler got this routines, and (possibly newer?) Fortran compilers lacks of them.
It may be the case that also there is a missing flag in the compiler options.
Another idea is that there is a incompatibility with the newer LAPACK library version.

My apt versions are on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Package: libblas-dev Version: 3.12.0-3build1.1
Package: liblapack-dev Version: 3.12.0-3build1.1

Is there a compiler known which compiles and runs the example in a clean way? Which Fortran compiler (with version number) and corresponding BLAS and LAPACK version is known to run properly?
