Two comments/questions on this issue:
1)  I have successfully installed the g95 compiler (no ebuild), and once configured properly, emerge does end up using it.  I installed Octave, and autoconfig found and apparently used g95.  Might that be a good, free (as in speech) alternative to ifc?
2)  Does anyone know what the status is for gcc-4, with support for Fortran 90/95?

I'm not using Fortran much these days, but I can give a shot at writing an ebuild for g95 and submit a bug.

Cheers,
Matthew

I'm beginning to work on a number of packages that require F90, so I may
be working to improve the eclass and so forth soon, depending on how
things go. I know we need a tc-getF77() and tc-getF90(), not sure what
other needs we have -- need to re! search the bugs a bit.

Current codes for quantum chemistry are on my overlay:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/overlay/sci-chemistry/ -- the new ones
are abinit, psi and espresso. Others showing up soon will be schakal,
gabedit, yaehmop.

The ccp4/coot ebuilds are for crystallography and aren't yet working
well enough for portage, but they work OK for local use ( coot 0.1 is
broken, ccp4 has rpath issues ).

Espresso brings up an interesting question -- should we be able to add
packages that do not compile at all with gcc but do with ifc?

Thanks,
Donnie
