Missing FORTRAN compiler to compile R

I'm trying to install R on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

When I tried to compile R using ./configure, it reported "No F77 compiler found" - looks like it cannot find the Fortran Compiler.

However I have installed the GCC tools which should contain a Fortran Compiler, right?

Anyone can help me with this? Thanks.

Open in new window

.

It looks like there is no package called that name.

Thanks.
