Sage crash on first run - can't find the fortran compiler

[Koen van Greevenbroek]

Hey!

I just downloaded and unpacked the latest Sage binaries for Fedora 25 (I'm running Fedora 26), but upon the first run, Sage crashes with "ImportError: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". However, I already installed the fortran compiler by running "dnf install gcc-gfortran"! What am I doing wrong? Please let me know if you need any more information.

Cheers,

Koen

there is no compatible libgfortran in Fedora 26:

either follow the advice there, although I'd say that 

your best bet is to build Sage from source...

This should be fixed in the next version of Sage:
