Gfortran version error

[Lucioric2000]

In a section of the questionnaire meade by the conf script, it asks for the gfortran version, giving the following instructions to get it:

Please type 'gfortran -dumpversion' or else 'gfortran -v' to
detect the version number of your gfortran.
This reply should be a string with at least two decimal points,
such as 4.9.4 or 6.3.0.
The reply may be labeled as a 'gcc' version,
but it is really your gfortran version.

Please enter only the first decimal place, such as 4.9:

When I run gfortran -v in other teminal in the same system, it displays:

Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)

If you type the 9.3.0 as the gfortran version, the systems exits with the error message:

The gfortran version number is not recognized.
It should only have one decimal place, such as 4.x

the same happens if you put 9.3, But if you input 4.9, the questionnaire follows on normally and renders a compilable gamess package.

Make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your issue - thank you!

This should work with the "GAMESS September 30, 2020 R2 Public Release".
