This strikes me a a pretty severe constraint on a system that is for
HPC. Don't you find that limits the local tuning you might do, the
availability of packages, etc.? Is there a reason for not installing a
fortran compiler? Do you have a C compiler? (I am still trying to
understand the various piece of parallel computing, and the sorts of
environments people use, but this caught me by surprise.)
