Hi Werner,

yes, there definitely is some kind of interaction: MSYS (or g95) defines 
an environment variable LIBRARY_PATH.
When I unset that, the g95 linker (!) complains it can not find 
particular libraries. The odd thing is that the
path to the new GNU compiler installation appears first in the PATH 
variable.

So, apparently in my set-up, the compiler is gfortran (taken from the 
correct installation directory), but the
next step, i.e. the linker (ld) comes from the MSYS environment. I have 
not sorted out yet why, but the
simplest solution will be to take the MSYS path out of the PATH variable.

I will continue this investigation

Arjen
