Missing libgfortran.spec

[ivanmantova]

I'm having the following problem when compiling Julia under Mac OS X 10.7.2:

(P) RBok status 0 0 0
mtype of pattern:              [pua]
mtype of tril(A):              [rua]
(L) RBok status 0 0 22
RBdemo OK
gfortran: error: libgfortran.spec: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [SuiteSparse-3.7.0/lib/libsuitesparse.dylib] Error 1
make: *** [julia-release] Error 2

Even though I do have libgfortran.spec on my machine:

[Mon Feb 20 09:59:44 ivanmp@MacBookPro53:julia ] λ ls /usr/local/lib | grep gfortran
libgfortran.3.dylib*
libgfortran.a
libgfortran.dylib*
libgfortran.la*
libgfortran.spec
[Mon Feb 20 10:02:47 ivanmp@MacBookPro53:julia ] λ 

Am I missing something?
Should I set some environment variable to point to /usr/local/lib for the build to be able to find the above file? If so, which variable?

Someone on IRC suggested that it should be a 64-bit gfortran. The one from hpc.sf.net is reported to work. It would just be so much easier if Apple shipped a fortran compiler also.

[ivanmantova]

The gfortran install was broken.
Removed it and installed from http://hpc.sf.net/ and it works fine now.

I had this problem but reinstalling did not solve the issue. What did fix it was adding /usr/local/lib explicitly to LIBRARY_PATH; i.e.,
setenv LIBRARY_PATH $LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

This was my problem as well. FYI for bash and ksh, the command to correct the library path is:

export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"

I have tried all these solutions and I am still getting the same problem.
