obviously error is in extra dot in SuiteSparse.v5.4.0-6..tar.gz - but how do I fix it?

You need to install gfortran.

thank you, that helped! :+1:t2:

though, seems like missing gfortran made configuration scripts out of control

( for the future readers - with similar problems )

build doc ( v1.5.1 ) :

relevant part:

“On Debian-based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu), you can easily install them with apt-get:”

sudo apt-get install build-essential libatomic1 python gfortran perl wget m4 cmake pkg-config
