Unable to compile DW-NOMINATE.F

Hi,

I'm trying to run your code and it fails when compiling DW-NOMINATE.F. I tried reproducing it on bash and I get:

vitor@clarisse:/tmp$ gfortran DW-NOMINATE.FOR -w -o dw-nominate
/tmp/cc1HtXAL.o: In function `MAIN__':
DW-NOMINATE.FOR:(.text+0x1cd5e): undefined reference to `gettim_'
DW-NOMINATE.FOR:(.text+0x26188): undefined reference to `gettim_'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

My gfortran version is GNU Fortran (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2. You've probably used a different version than I did. Could you check what version was it? I understand that this repository was created a while ago and you probably don't have time to check its issues, but if you could simply document your gfortran version it would help a lot 😃

Thanks for your time.

Port of old fortran code to something else?

Hi,
I have been looking for the source code for the dw-nominate in any other language than fortran and I stumbled upon this repo. I see that you have done a wrapper around the original fortran program and I was wondering if you have considered porting the dw-nominate algorithm to something less intimidating like ruby, java, c or similar? I guess, since yo have done the wrapper, you must have some knowledge of fortran maybe?

I haven't really found a good source for the actual algorithm. Do you have any links to any papers or such? I can only find papers for w-nominate and not the dw-nominate algorithm.

Thanks in advance.
