I didn't think any version of Xcode supplied any version of any Fortran compiler.

Xcode goes in /usr. /usr/local is reserved for local installations by the system administrator, and Apple to my knowledge therefore does not supply anything that goes in /usr/local; it would be contrary to the purpose of /usr/local for them to do so. If you have a gfortran in /usr/local, I doubt it came from Apple.

I can't seem to get XCode to accept the gfortan libraries libgfortran and libgfortranbegin. My suspicion is that I first have to set XCode to accept gcc44, but of course searching the net for gcc44, XCode, and macports yields a large number of links. Can you point me to a starting link on the topic?

I'm afraid I don't know how to do this.
