You have decided to build cantor with no backend.
To have this application functional, please do one of below:
# emerge -va1 '='kde-base/cantor-4.6.4 with 'R' USE flag enabled
# emerge -vaDu sci-mathematics/maxima
The odds of you ever needing to use cantor are practically nil. And if
you did, you'd probably already have R installed and know what FORTRAN
was. So, don't worry about it.
I never noticed it being there. So, naw I don't need it. Good ole
kde-meta pulled it in tho.
My point was, you can install cantor without R (or maxima) and it will
complain loudly that "I'm installing myself broken!"... but it *will*
install. And if you never run it, you never need R, thus you never need
+fortran, and your gcc will be much happier.

I was hoping to trim a little fat not break things. I may never need
cantor but if I do, I would like it to work without me having to figure
out why it is broke. Plus, next time a upgrade comes along, I got
issues again. It's going to pull in a update that fails to compile and
its going to upset me greatly, much more so than having fortran or
whatever installed.
Maybe you wasn't around during the GREAT hal and xorg mess I ran into.
Trust me, it wasn't steam, it was flames. I would like to avoid that.
I wanted to wring that nerds neck for rendering my keyboard and rat
useless. :-@
