I agree -- this is very disappointing. Having done so much testing of alpha0, alpha1, alpha 2, rc0, rc1 I then find that I cannot build alpha5 or the official release! WHo made this decision? Were we given a vote or chance to comment? How hard would it be to make version of 4.3.1 which still has gfortran in it? John
