How to install gfortran?

  • 772

I installed sage on ubuntu but nothing on the command line executes. The relevant portion in the long error message is: 

ImportError: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade?
WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.

I tried sudo apt-get install gfortran and sudo apt-get install libgfortran.so.3

But neither seem to work. I tried the Ubuntu Software Center GUI but it seems broken as it keeps showing the rotating wait prompt even though my net is working. I'm a bit stuck. Thanks.

apt

    I can confirm that it is package libgfortran3 that is needed. This has been working for me on Ubuntu Lucid (32bit):

    apt-get install libgfortran3

    cheers.

  2. See this Ubuntu package content search for packages containing libgfortran.so.3. I guess you need libgfortran3 but I don't know sage
