gfortran creates faster executables than g95, but has more bugs as well.
gfortran also claims to be Fortran77 compatible, whereas g95 is compatible
with fortran77 code that is also fortran95 (and 03). There is plenty of
documentation online describing the differences, and it's certainly not bad
to have both compilers, but unless you have a specific reason for using g95,
I would suggest installing gfortran and using that compiler for amber due to
Professor Case's suggestion. Pre-built binaries of gfortran also install
directly into your path (or should. you may have to add /usr/local/bin to
your path if you haven't already), so it may be easier to 'install and go'
if you're not too keen on modifying your environment variables.
All the best,
Jason
