Needs a change to line 61 of config/lam_prog_f77.m4 to add gfortran to the list. After that, add autotools to the inherit line at the top of the ebuild, and run eautoreconf at the very end of src_unpack().
Or, as a workaround, you could do # ln -s /usr/bin/gfortran /usr/bin/g77 which I did as octave missed the same command, although I had built gcc with USE=fortran too.
Fixed in 7.1.2.
This Issue was not Fixed in the LAM 7.1.4 . I am getting the same FORTAN error while ./configure. After "ln -s /usr/bin/gfortran /usr/bin/g77" only it crossed the fortan Part. Thanks Gopi
