R help - Oct 2006 - Problem with installing Hmisc and Design: gfrotran: error

cannot exec 'f951': No such file or directory
Reply-To: 

Hi all,

I'm using R on an Suse Linux system. Since Hmisc and Design need both
fortran, I installed gfortran (through rpm). However, I still get an
error message, namely:

gfrotran: error cannot exec 'f951': No such file or directory

And the installation is cancelled. I tried solving the problem through
googling it, and looking at the fortran and Hmisc page, but couldn't
find any valuable information. It would be wonderful if anyone could
help me.

Cheers,

       Stephan

Is there a confusion between 'gfortran' and 'gfrotran' here? 
Assuming you
used 'gfortran' comsistently, your compiler installation is incomplete.

This is really a SuSE Linux question, and you may do best to seek local 
SuSE advice: you haven't even told us the version you are using.
