pacman failure
Hello people,
I've been using Arch for almost 1 year and that's the first time I've such a problem; my weekly pacman -Suy doesn't work anymore !
here comes the output:
/home/daenz > pacman -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: Replace gcc-g77 with gcc-fortran from "extra"? [Y/n]
error: unresolvable dependencies:
gcc-g77: requires gcc=3.4.3
/home/daenz > answering Y or n to the gcc replacing question doesnt change a thing - nothing happens, just the error message and an emtpy prompt,
so, S.O.S. please ^^

Re: pacman failure
Do it this way:
pacman -Rd gcc-g77
pacman -Syu
pacman -S gcc-fortran

Re: pacman failure
I had the same problem, and I was wondering what are the advantages (if any) of gcc-fortran over gcc-g77 ?

it's most likely the same thing, just renamed

Re: pacman failure
gfortran is a fortran 95 compiler written from scratch. It can also compile fortran 77 code (and probably fortran 90).

Re: pacman failure
By the way, I noticed that the scilab PKGBUILD from AUR does NOT compile against gcc-fortran. (I replaced "gcc-g77" by "gcc-fortran" in the depends and makedepends entries)
checking for g77... no
checking for f2c... no
configure: error: Unable to configure: no Fortran compiler found
make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...Offline
