Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:30395 f.calboli@…]:
 > libtool does not build if I have a /usr/bin/gfortran executable.
 Renaming it fixes the problem, nevertheless it is unacceptable that
 MacPorts would cause conflicts with software that is not in /opt/local.

 Acceptable or not, it is a fact that third-party software installed in
 system locations (/, /usr/, /usr/local/) can and does interfere with
 MacPorts software. That is a general MacPorts issue that we do not know
 how to solve. Suggestions welcome.

 Specifically for libtool, if we can figure out how to make libtool not
 care about /usr/bin/gfortran we should do that, but that will not change
 the fact that having gfortran there could cause problems for other ports
 too.
