However, on my Mac OS X 10.4.10 ""Tiger"" system, there is a script /usr/bin/fc which apparently just invokes the Bourne shell builtin of that name. The configuration fails with {{{ checking how to get verbose linking output from fc... configure: WARNING: compilation failed checking for Fortran 77 libraries of fc... checking how to get verbose linking output from gcc -std=gnu99... -v checking for C libraries of gcc -std=gnu99... -L/opt/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1 -L/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/../../.. -lSystemStubs -lSystem checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... none checking for Fortran 77 name-mangling scheme... configure: error: cannot compile a simple Fortran program See `config.log' for more details. }}} I'm not sure what the right solution for MacPorts is, but for me installing the g95 port allowed R to build." defect closed Normal ports worksforme konis@… R
