incompatible libgfortran version?

I am using a python code that someone else wrote that links to some fortran libraries. I can get the code to work with my system installation of python (Python 2.7.2+ default, Oct 4 2011, 20:06:09 [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2). My operating system is Ubuntu 11.10. When I try to use the same python code in sage, I get the following error:

OSError: /opt/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libgfortran.so.3: version `GFORTRAN_1.4' not found (required by [omitting the full path on this website for privacy reasons]/librefprop.so)

when the

ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(u"[omitting the full path on this website for privacy reasons]/librefprop.so")

command is run.

I really don't know anything about fortran or how ctypes works, but it appears as though the sage version that I am using has a different libgfortran version than my operating system used when I created the fortran object files from the fortran code and linked them with the gfortran command. Here is some output from the command "dpkg --list | grep compiler|grep fortran"

ii gfortran 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 GNU Fortran 95 compiler ii gfortran-4.6 4.6.1-9ubuntu3 GNU Fortran 95 compiler

Is there some way I can tell sage to use the same libgfortran as my system python distribution? Will updating sage resolve this issue?

although I would have liked to know the cause of this for future reference, upgrading to the latest version of sage did resolve the issue somehow.

It seems that Sage built its own gcc/gfortran since your host compilers were deemed inadequate (possibly a version where we ran into compiler bugs). Open a Sage shell (sage -sh) and recompile your module, this will then use the same compiler as Sage.

this didn't work. i checked, and it doesn't appear that sage -sh is causing a different compiler to be used. does this prove it?
