brew install veclibfort: gfortran: No such file or directory

gfortran, homebrew

Solution

I simply had to reinstall gcc:

brew uninstall gcc
brew install gcc

After that veclibfort installed perfectly. thanks to kmm for the answer. He posted as a comment, I'm posting as an answer that I can mark as accepted.

Problem

As a prereq to octave, I need to install veclibfort: ``` brew install veclibfort ``` I get the error ``` ==> make check gfortran -o tester -O tester.f90 vecLibFort.o -framework vecLib make: gfortran: No such file or directory make: *** [check] Error 1 ``` That error sounds like I don't have gfortran installed, but I do. If I run `gfortran -v`: ``` Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gfortran COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.8.3/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0/4.8.3/lto-wrapper Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0 Configured with: ../configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0 --(snip) Thread model: posix gcc version 4.8.3 (GCC) ``` This issue seems to be addressed here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues/992 but there doesn't seem to be a relevant solution.
