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.
