I am trying to compile a Fortran code (package) with gfortran in a Linux server, on which I have no root access.
It has a Makefile and when I run make I get this error
/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
but gcc is already installed on cluster.
gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

and this is the output of installed package
yum list gcc-gfortran

The question is why it can not find libgfortran, while gcc is installed?
I have also tried to update $PATH but it did not change anything.
I am just a user of the server without root access.
