Gfortran not being installed from make compile

[jcrubino]

I am compiling julialang on a new install of ubuntu 12.04 linux and found that gfortran was note being checked for or installed prior to it being a dependency.

Did not see the requirements.... or was under the impression that all dependencies were auto installed via make.

Julia doesn't download and compile gfortran for you. Under the "Required build tools and libraries" section, you'll see that you must install gfortran before attempting to build Julia.

Somehow missed your reply above. Carry on! :)
