Cannot find gfortran in software centre

Asked by Kerry Hayes

Hiya

I have installed ubuntu on my windows as a partition to use some software for my university work. In this software it says i need gfortran, and I was told to get it from the software centre.

I have looked a million times and I cant find it. Can anyone help me? Am begging!

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T,

then type

sudo apt-get install gfortran

It should be there:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=gfortran

If you can't find it, please post back . It is possible that your sources are not correct.

Might want to run:

sudo apt-get update

First too :)
