Thanks, Dirk! That solved the problem Best, Natalia You have the _run-time_ package for Fortran, you also need the dev package:
edd at max:~$ COLUMNS=125 dpkg -l | grep libgfortran- | cut -c-75 ii libgfortran-4.7-dev:amd64 4.7.4-2ubuntu1 amd64 Runtime l ii libgfortran-4.8-dev:amd64 4.8.3-12ubuntu3 amd64 Runtime l ii libgfortran-4.9-dev:amd64 4.9.1-16ubuntu6 amd64 Runtime l That's on my 14.10 box.

While trying to install any package I get the error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran" If I open a Terminal and run "ldconfig -p | grep libgfortran", I get: "libgfortran.so.3 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfortran.so.3" I've been an R user for two years and this is the first time I get this error. I've uninstalled R and re-installed it but the problem was not solved. I'll be very grateful for any help or suggestions to solve the problem.
