Comment 5 for bug 156524

I have looked at this again, and I found that I have got gcc-4.1, gcc-4.2, and gfortran-4.2 installed on my system. For some reason, 'gcc' is linked to gcc-4.1, rather than the newer gcc-4.2. This is the cause of the problem, AFAICT, because libgfortran.so is not in the library path used by gcc-4.1.

Is there solution here to modify the packages for gcc-4.1 and gcc-4.2 so that /usr/bin/gcc links to gcc-4.2 instead of gcc-4.1?
