Description pille 2009-11-08 17:11:40 UTC 
when emerging sci-libs/blas-reference-20070226 without a fortran compiler installed, you'll get the notice to install this build time dependency:
  * None of the needed Fortran Compilers (g77 gfortran ifc) is installed.
  * To install one of these, choose one of the following steps:
  * [1] USE="fortran" emerge =sys-devel/gcc-3*
  * [2] USE="fortran" emerge =sys-devel/gcc-4*
  * [3] emerge dev-lang/ifc

my first point is the question, why this isn't represented by the fortran use flag.
my second point concerns the bad practise described in [1] and [2].

The blas libraries are fortran libraries by nature, the c ones are the cblas libraries. So what's the point in a fortran useflag for a fortran-only package?

Eclass is obsolete.
