brew install veclibfort: gfortran: No such file or directory

Question

As a prereq to octave, I need to install veclibfort:

brew install veclibfort

I get the error

==> make check
gfortran -o tester -O tester.f90 vecLibFort.o -framework vecLib
make: gfortran: No such file or directory
make: *** [check] Error 1

That error sounds like I don't have gfortran installed, but I do. If I run gfortran -v:

Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gfortran
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.8.3/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0/4.8.3/lto-wrapper

This issue seems to be addressed here:

but there doesn't seem to be a relevant solution.

Answer 1

I simply had to reinstall gcc:

brew uninstall gcc
brew install gcc

After that veclibfort installed perfectly. thanks to kmm for the answer. He posted as a comment, I'm posting as an answer that I can mark as accepted.
