Cool ways of adding numbers in a text file in bash:

awk '{s+=$0} END {print s}' /tmp/file.txt

paste -sd+ /tmp/file.txt | bc

Problem with Fortran + C code compilation:

undefined reference to `iargc_'
undefined reference to `getarg_'


Solution: use '_gfortran_iargc()' and '_gfortran_getarg_i4()' instead of 'iargc_()' and 'getargc_()'. This is specific to the situation where you link C with Fortran.
On the cluster, these are defined in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libgfortran.a.
