The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by virtual/fortran-0::gentoo
# required by sci-libs/lapack-3.10.0::gentoo
# required by virtual/blas-3.8::gentoo
# required by dev-lang/julia-1.7.1::gentoo
# required by julia (argument)
>=sys-devel/gcc-11.2.1_p20211127 fortran

The dependencies *require* fortran, so not having a working fortran compiler makes very little sense.

Yes, but from the log, you can see he does have it installed. So the question is why can't it detect it?

Alright.

Build log provides installed packages (qlist -ICvUSS) and gcc[fortran] is there

ci has reproduced this issue with version 1.7.1-r1 - Updating summary.

[Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo 2022-01-05 14:04:42 UTC]

the build log says it is a -native-symlink build. So I suppose it looks for gfortran or something that is not there with -native-symlink build

ci has reproduced this issue with version 1.8.5-r1 - Updating summary.
