Re: [photran] Problem installing Photran

[Giulio Zambon <giulio@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am no expert in Eclipse, but from what you say I get the impression 
that in the Install New Software menu item you clicked on "Available 
software sites". As I explained in my blog (see below for the URL), I 
expanded the "General Purpose Tools" category and selected PTP and then 
expanded the "Programming Languages" category and selected Fortran. I 
didn't need to look for a "proper site", as you say. It was for the Mac, 
but I expect that it will be the same for a Windows laptop.

Ciao, Giulio.
