Hello!

Please check out this issue reported in 2013 <https://gnats.netbsd.org/47503>. 
This does not seem to be new.

For the time being, I have switched to Debian. I do not think I currently have 
the resources to properly deal with this issue.

I might request to be a maintainer at a later point and get some help from 
others to make sure gfortran is available after fresh installation.

>From what I have gathered, gcc 10.5 comes pre-installed with NetBSD, which 
>does not have gfortran available and neither is it upgradable. You have to 
>manually install gcc 14 and that version can be upgraded via pkgsrc repo, but 
>that also does not provide gfortran right away.


Regards,
Raj
