no fortran compiler found.

[Matt Tillard]

Hello,

I am just getting started using octave, and I keep getting this error
while running configure,

checking for gfortran... no
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... no
checking whether  accepts -g... no
checking for f2c... no
configure: WARNING: in order to build octave, you must have a compatible
configure: WARNING: Fortran compiler or f2c installed and in your path.
configure: error: See the file INSTALL for more information.

I have installed gfortran, and gcc 4.0.3.   Any idea on what to do?  I
don't know many UNIX line commands, just the basics, but I do
understand them.  Thanks all.

Matt
