Package: libgfortran3
Version: 4.4.5-10
Severity: normal
File: libgfortran

Thanks for maintaining libgfortran3.

I use it.

I happened to notice that building some R packages
from their source code elicited an error about
not being able to find gfortran's library.

Here's one way that I found tne bug.

    $ R
    > install.package("amap")
    gfortran   -fpic  -O3 -pipe  -g -c pop.f -o pop.o
    g++ -shared -o amap.so acprob.o burt.o diss.o distance.o distance_T.o 
hclust.o hclust_T.o kmeans.o pop.o -lpthread -lgfortran -lm -L/usr/lib/R/lib -lR
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [amap.so] Error 1
    ERROR: compilation failed for package 'amap'

The other way was

    > install.package("kernlab")

I fixed them by doing

    $ ln -s /usr/lib/libgfortran.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libgfortran.so

If possible, maybe the libgfortran3 package should
create a similar symbolic link.

Thanks,
Kingsley
