  An algorithm for gauge fixing to the minimal Landau gauge in lattice QCD is
described. The method, a combination of an evolutionary algorithm with a
steepest descent method, is able to solve the problem of the nonperturbative
gauge fixing. The performance of the combined algorithm is investigated on
$8^4$, $\beta = 5.7$, and $16^4$, $\beta = 6.0$, lattice SU(3) gauge
configurations.
