Help building fortran compiler on SUSE 10.0

Help building fortran compiler on SUSE 10.0

[Gabriella Turek]

I have  SUSE 10.0 installed and it came with an gcc compiler
version 4.0.2 (prerelease) There seems to be no fortran support,
or rather if I try to compile somethign I get

> gcc: installation problem,
> cannot exec 'f951': No such file or directory

I've been trying to compile gcc 4.1.0 myself but when I get to the part
where it's trying to compile the fortran code it gets the following error:


make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/turekg/tmp/gcc-4.1.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgfortran'
/bin/sh ../.././libgfortran/mk-kinds-h.sh

make[1]: *** [all-target-libgfortran] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/turekg/tmp/gcc-4.1.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I am at a total loss...

Modern distributions package gcc in a number of packages.  This means
you can pick and choose the various gcc languages you want, so it looks
like you did not install the gcc-fortran package.
