Since I'm absolutely new to Fortran, I can't make sure what type of code it was. But I can make you sure that I compiled it with g95 and not with VC++9.0. I forgot to mention it before, sorry.

I respectfully disagree. It was necessary, as I tested it, it gives lots of linker error without it.

I'm aware of linking different version of libraries for debug and release, as you explained and that's exactly what I've done. I've used LIBCMT and all the libraries without 'd' for release mode. But as I told before that link error still remains. The only thing I'm not sure if I've done properly is compiling the Fortran codes. I mean is there debug version and release version for Fortran libraries? When I compiled Fortran codes, I was able to create only one version of libraries and since I didn't know whether it's debug or release (if there is any debug or release for Fortran libraries) I linked the same Fortran library file with my program in debug and release modes. Other than that I'm almost sure that there's nothing wrong with my code.
