Description Kim N. Jensen 2004-10-20 03:19:51 UTC

'emerge R' fails if "g77 fortran" is not present on the system.
I guess that R is missing a dependency on "g77 fortran".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge R
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
You can't compile R

Expected Results:  
R should compile and work

Please always mention the version you are talking about.
The problem is that portage currently does not allow DEPENDing on optional parts of other programs (like g77 as part of gcc).
