There shouldn't be: once the library is compiled it doesn't matter what
language it was written in (as long as the Fortran symbol names have been
correctly mangled in the C code). Sorry, I've got no idea what's happening
here: what architecture are the farm machines? Can you log into them directly
to try and run rivetgun from the command line?
