21 Well, I don't have fortran use enabled
22
23 mail-proxy ~ # euse -i fortran
24 global use flags (searching: fortran)
25 ************************************************************
26 [- ] fortran - Adds support for fortran (formerly f77)
27
28 local use flags (searching: fortran)

32 However, kde-base/kde-meta-4.6.4 pulls in kde-base/kdeedu-meta-4.6.4
33 which pulls in kde-base/kantor which pulls in dev-lang/R (since my profile
34 has the R use flag enabled) which pulls in virtual/blas which pulls in
35 sci-libs/blas-reference-20070226 which then craps out since I don't have
36 the fortran use flag enabled.
37
38 My solution is to force -R in make.conf
