Re: trouble installing octave (version 3.4.2) on ubuntu linux 11.04

[Dario Cardini]

John,
thank you again.
I checked that I have gfortran installed, as well as this f77 compiler:

which gfortran
/usr/bin/gfortran

which f77
/usr/bin/f77

To my understanding, gfortran should have precedence on f77, but this is not what happens, because the configure script looks for f77.

Do you know how I could force the usage of gfortran ?

Thank you,
Kind Regards

Dario

You don't want /usr/bin/f77, whatever that is.  You should be using
gfortran.
