    gfortran for gentoo

    Hello,
    At uni I do programming on FORTRAN. On my desktop I have FORTRAN installed (apt-get install gfortran). On my laptop I have recently installed gentoo. Now I need to have fortran on it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have searched portage for fortran and gfortran, but there are no compilers. I have installed gcc 4.1.x using emerge, as it said that fortran is automatically installed with gcc, but no luck. On command 'gfortran' it sais 'command not found'. I did not have fortran set in my USE flags (if that made a difference). What can I do? I downloaded gfortran source code, but on './configure' it sais that install.sh not found. Do I need to recompile gcc with USE='fortran (or gfortran)'? Thanks.

    Quick answer, yes

    EDIT, just emerge using -av to check the USE flags of the package
