What is the best FORTRAN library for solving initial value problems (low
number of dimensions, <10) based on ordinary differential equations
using the Runge-Kutta method? The faster the discretization works the
better, but besides that I don't have a lot of requirements. Any
standard Runge-Kutta implementation should suffice.

I welcome any suggestions and experiences.

I don't know about 'the best' but I do know that NAG provide very good
and well respected libraries. If you're in a university then it's likely
that you'll already have access to the library, otherwise as far as I
know it'll cost you; it isn't free software.

Indeed I have the NAG libraries, but they do much more than I actually
need. Also, to make use of their Runge-Kutta implementation, you have to
include not only the driver file D02BJF but also D02AGF and other
dependencies. Since all I really need is a simple Runge-Kutta
implementation, I'd prefer to use simpler code as well.

You could try netlib :
http:://netlib.sandia.gov/ode/index.html

"lib: rksuite (tar)
alg: Runge-Kutta
for: initial value problem for first order ordinary differential equations A
suite of codes for solving IVPs in ODEs. A choice of RK methods is
available. Includes an error assessment facility and a sophisticated
stiffness checker. Template programs and example results provided.
Supersedes RKF45, DDERKF, D02PAF."

I found this reference using Google with lang:fortran runge-kutta in
the search box
If you need other stuff it may help to cut down searches to use
lang:fortran <search string(s)>

Very helpful, thank you! I didn't know about the "lang:" modifier either.
