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. Chuck On Jun 2, 2007, at 12:44 PM, macports-users- request@lists.macosforge.org wrote:

Hi,
I have just been given some fortran source, which I need to compile, so I was curious to know whether a fortran compiler existed as part of MacPorts? There doesn't seem to be a Fortran compiler as part of the basic gcc installers that comes with XCode, at least there doesn't seem to be an f77 command.
