I think you'll have to do a better job of describing your program's
expected flow, as I at least am very confused.

You are making a library?  With some sort of recursive call?  You have
to use Fortran (ooo, quel drag, mon!)?  What has this to do with
clusters?

I can think of lots of ways to implement lots of things "like" what you
may be trying to describe (but not in Fortran, which I took a vow never
to code in again -- unless of course somebody offers me obscene
quantities of money to do so:-).  Most of them don't need shared
libraries per se, which is one of the things I don't understand.  The
other is why beowulf list -- are you trying to invoke this recursion
across a cluster or something?  So that the "shared libraries" live on
different systems?
