title: Still can't install scipy due to missing fortran compiler after brew install gcc on Mac OS X
body: <p>I have read and followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14821297/scipy-build-install-mac-osx">this answer</a> to install scipy/numpy/theano. However, it still failed on the same error of missing Fortran compiler after brew install gcc. While HomeBrew installed the gcc-4.8, it didn't install any gfortran or g95 commands. I figure gfortran may be just a <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/Invoking-GNU-Fortran.html#Invoking-GNU-Fortran" rel="noreferrer">synonymy</a> of gcc, then I create a symlink</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cd /usr/local/bin
  $ ln -s gcc-4.8 gfortran
  $ pip install scipy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then it detects the gfortran command but still complaining no Fortran compiler</p>

  <p>What else should I do? </p>
