atlas: Atlas could not detect any fortran compiler

[anirban.polley@…]

Hi, I am trying to install octave using "sudo port install octave" but it gives the following error.

sudo port install octave

--->  Computing dependencies for octave

Error: org.macports.configure for port atlas returned: Atlas could not detect any fortran compiler. If you really don’t need the fortran interface to be built, please use the +nofortran option, else install a fortran compiler (e.g. gcc4X) before building Atlas.
Error: Failed to install atlas

Could you please help me to sort it out the problem?

Thank you and best regards, Anirban

Doesn't look like there's any problem. Just read the message and decide which course of action you want to take: "Atlas could not detect any fortran compiler. If you really don’t need the fortran interface to be built, please use the +nofortran option, else install a fortran compiler (e.g. gcc4X) before building Atlas."

Did you install gcc48/gcc49 in order to have a fortran compiler available? Anyhow, I’m going to make Atlas explicitly depend on gcc49 in order to avoid this kind of message.

Replying to vince@…:

Please, I have such kind of question too.
