Description:
I have updated Julia to version 1.0, but when a tried to install the package Arpack (within of Julia) I got some issue.
I was looking and found this issue -> https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/A … /issues/33
Seems that Julia needs to be built with gfotran7

Additional info:

on julia-2:1.0.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Sorry, I forgot to put the summary and I do not know how to put now.

  • Field changed: Summary ([julia] PLEASE ENTER SUMMARY → [julia] random julia packages provide precompiled binaries depending on undocumented gcc version)
Don't use precompiled binaries of garbage software that depends on the entirely undocumented version of gcc that julia was coincidentally built with.

Just build said garbage software from source as G-d intended.

We do not provide a gcc7 fortran package in any event, because gcc is at version *8*, so there's absolutely nothing to do here.
