Actually, reading the previous messages in this thread, it seems that gfortran is installed, but the executable is named "gfortran-4.3".
Because of this, the prereq spkg doesn't find it (it's looking for an executable named "gfortran" in your PATH). If you have root access to this machine, I suggest that you make a symbolic link for the executable, i.e. as root do cd /usr/bin ln -s gfortran-4.3 gfortran Then try "make" again.
