My Python app is using scipy which apparently needs libgfortran. After a recent brew update/upgrade, my Python app fails to run due to a libgfortran dependency issue:

dlopen(<snip>/scipy-0.14.0-py2.7-macosx-10.10-intel.egg/scipy/linalg/_fblas.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/gcc/4.9/libgfortran.3.dylib

I have gcc 4.9 installed, but there is no fortran library or anything matching /usr/local/lib/gcc/4.9/fort. There are tons of other libs in /usr/local/lib/gcc/4.9/

I successfully installed gcc 4.9 through homebrew, however I could not get gfortran installed:

➜  ~  brew install gfortran
Error: No available formula for gfortran 
GNU Fortran is now provided as part of GCC, and can be installed with:

It should be installed and linked from the gcc formula:

~ » readlink `which gfortran`                                                                                      
../Cellar/gcc/5.1.0/bin/gfortran
