Could you describe a problem in more detail? Which packages are installed? $ dpkg -l | grep elmer
> Trying to start elmer from menu dies. Have you tried to launch menu item "Elmer logger"? Or was it another menu item? Also you can try to launch directly .desktop file: /usr/share/applications/ElmerGUIlogger.desktop > To me it looks like that gfortran should be installed along elmer. You are rigth. But package libelmer-dev should depend on gfortran, not package elmer. Program elmerf90 is a part of package libelmer-dev: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/i386/libelmer-dev/filelist And package libelmer-dev depends on gfortran since Ubuntu Quantal: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/libelmer-dev So this bug affects only Ubuntu Precise and earlier releases: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libelmer-dev http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/libelmer-dev > Note for first-timers (like me) using elmer : elmerf90, elmerf90-nosh, elmerld are not meant to be launched by hand (unless you know what you're doing I guess), but you should use Elmer* binaries (starting with an uppercase E), and particularily ElmerGUI; also availble from Ubuntu menu.
