Install Fortran 90 compiler in Kubuntu

Question

I am trying to run a package that strictly depends on Fortran 90, but after running its ./configure file it shows the following error:

configure: error: could not find Fortran 90 compiler

There are multiple sources for compiling Fortran 95, but not for 90.

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Fortran 95 is a superset of Fortran 90. A Fortran 95 compiler will quite likely be able to compile your Fortran 90 code.

To install the GNU Fortran compiler from kubuntu use:

sudo apt-get install gfortran

In fact, the Fortran 95 standard was just a minor upgrade from the Fortran 90 standard (unlike the change from Fortran 77 to Fortran 90).
