This is slightly off-topic, but probably of interest to anyone reading this thread: Is there any reason why we don't use --fcompiler=gfortran as an alias for --fcompiler=gfortran (and --fcompiler=g77 as an alias for --fcompiler=gnu, for that matter)? Those seem to me to be much more mnemonic names... Andrew Robert Kern wrote:

That might work okay for building scipy and other packages that only actually have FORTRAN-77 code; however, I suspect that Matthew is trying to build something with Fortran 90+.
