macports-users Digest, Vol 10, Issue 2

[Charles White]

Apple doesn't have any kind of fortran for Mac OS X / Darwin.  
However, various flavors of fortran are included in various flavors  
of GCC. You can use MacPorts to install GCC 4.1 (I think GCC 4.2 is  
still developmental). Someplace useful to you at some point is
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranGettingStarted. I know that I've  
compiled other peoples code that contains fortran (R language for  
statistical computing) under MacPorts. With that said, MacPorts  
doesn't seem to find the direct command to start the compiler  
(gfortran). I suspect you will need a 'portfile' to get this working.  
For my part, I haven't written fortran since ... 1977.
