I have gcc installed (with the fortran use flag). This provides a g77 executable, but it does not provide a f77, which is usually a link to the generic system fortran compiler. Some older things (and with fortran 77 almost everything is older) expect this behavior. cc is in /usr/bin (and points to gcc). Every other linux (and solaris) have f77, so I assume this is the proper UNIX type behavior. Redhat and Mandrake use symbolic links to make /usr/bin/f77 point to g77. I'm not sure how Gentoo does it for cc, but f77 should probably be created the same way. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gcc with fortran flag 2. which f77 3. Expected Results: /usr/bin/f77 should exist and it should call g77

ok, it's a small bug in gcc-config ... shouldnt be hard to fix ...

(In reply to comment #5) > can you please try this fix and see if it works ? As soon as I get back in town and have access to my computers again (late Tuesday probably) I'll try it and report back. Since you've responded so quick, I didn't want it to look like I was just sitting on your patch and not doing anything with it. Thanks.
I made the changes to /usr/local/portage/sys-devel/gcc-config/files/gcc-config-1.3.11 (the location of my portage overlay) and did emerge -v gcc-config which finished with no errors. When I then try to run f77, I get the error: gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "f77" g77 however still works.

(In reply to comment #8) > ok, then try this patch: > I tried that patch and it works perfect. Thanks. Just to be clear, I have both the patch from comment 8 and the patch from comment 5 applied. If you would like a me to try a different combination (like just the most recent one, let me know), although it looks like both are needed to me. Once again, thanks.
thanks, gcc-config-1.3.11-r4 has both these fixes
