Just as a note: I installed the fortran compiler from

http://r.research.att.com/tools/

(the gfortran 4.2.3)

and, on my SL machine it was installed in /usr/bin, not /usr/local:

pkgutil --file-info /usr/bin/gfortran
volume: /
path: /usr/bin/gfortran  <<<<<<<---- *not /usr/local/*

pkgid: org.r-project.gnuFortran42.usr.pkg
pkg-version: 5664
install-time: 1310405109
uid: 501
gid: 0
mode: 755

I would not know if it matters anyway, pkgutil --files org.r-project.gnuFortran42.usr.pkg will tell me where all the files are if I want to delete them.

does this apply to gfortran and tcl/tk, i.e. should they be reinstalled?

Cheers,
