gfortran not found when installing r-packages

I am repeatedly encountering the following error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran

when trying to install a lot of r-packages (e.g. igraph, ergm, blockmodels, and I guess every package that requires gcc and fortran in some way or another)

I run R on Ubuntu Trusty, and I have recently upgraded R from 3.1.0 to 3.3.1. When on 3.1.0, I had been able to install igraph and ergm (and others) without any problem, but not blockmodels.

I have checked for the presence of libgfortran on my system: it is there. Actually there is more than one version of it (3, 4.7, 4.8) and also libgfortran-dev is installed (multiple versions as well)

Any idea of what is going on? Thank you for any advice.

In Arch Linux, the gfortran package is named gcc-fortran. To install it:

sudo pacman -S gcc-fortran
