Installation of the "control" package failed because the installer could not
locate gfortran on my system. I haven't found a solution in any internet
forums (stackexchange etc) that I have visited.

Octave version 8.3 and 8.4
gcc installed using homebrew, and confirmed in a Terminal that gfortran is
available on the system (version 13.2, /opt/homebrew/bin/gfortran)

The result of "pkg install -forge control" is:


sh: gfortran: command not found
