Hi,

We will probably adapt the packages to check the existence of a fortran compiler instead of a dependency on gcc[fortran] as discussed in bug #299714.

Comment 2 Marcin Mirosław 2010-02-18 09:09:24 UTC

Agree.

OK, closing this one, since it is not R dependent.

Comment 4 Marcin Mirosław 2011-04-01 10:57:49 UTC

Due to fortran.eclass isn't using in dev-lang/R (see also bug #299714), i'm opening bug.
