gfortran problem, 13 june 2006

[daniel szumski]

I downloaded the gfortran package from hpc.sourceforge.net,  
apparently successfully. I also was able to download the most recent  
development tools from Mac. The expected files are in folders that  
look reasonable. I am using a Macbook w/OSX10.4.8. I don't know a lot  
about UNIX, I used to use DOS.

When I try to compile one of my fortran source files, I see the same  
response that craig saw:

daniel-szumskis-Computer:~/desktop danielszumski$ gfortran blackeqn.for
-bash: gfortran: command not found
daniel-szumskis-Computer:~/desktop danielszumski$ which gfortran
daniel-szumskis-Computer:~/desktop danielszumski$

I assume that there is something that I don't know about the way that  
'paths' are handled in UNIX. I have been trying to research this on  
my own at unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/commanz, but without success. I need to  
know what to do next.

Also, is there a better place, perhaps a tutorial, for learning UNIX.

Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.
