Basically, gcc needs to be compiled with the f77 USE flag in order to build g77. However, no check is done and non-developers wouldn't know what to do with the error message. The Bash built-in 'type' function can be used to find out if g77 exists on the system, and fail the build with a more useful error message. I'll attach a solution that works for me. gentoo-bugs@pekaje.homeip.net 2004-07-28 00:17:20 0000 Created an attachment (id=36304) Proposed patch dberkholz@gentoo.org 2004-07-28 01:09:12 0000 Thanks. I've committed a slightly different fix.
