As I understand it, f2c is a fortran77-to-c source code translator
which obviates the need for a Fortran compiler but should contain a
fort77 script in order to function correctly.

I installed ratfor on Debian using apt-get & so I checked the package
list & then went here:

<http://www.webmo.net/support/fortran_osx.html>

& grabbed a copy of g77 & then it installed fine. There was no ratfor
port but I thought I'd grab f2c for which there was a port as my build
set-up is based almost wholly on the ports in /opt/local minus Apple's
dev tools of course.

I'm guessing the problem was the fort77 script but of course may be
completely wrong...

Cheers,

  Phil.
