Thanks for your response Peter

Yes I have gfortran installed.  I also have R-devel-3.0.2-1.fc20.i686
installed already.

It seems I can install the packages as superuser su.  However, there are
still many fortran warnings about variables potentially being used before
being initialised.  I'll ignore those for the moment.

cheers,
   Steve
