Photran says "At least one configuration should be available. Project cannot be created." when creating a fortran project in eclipse

Question

I downloaded Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers, Kepler version, on my Debian x64 system, as well as gfortran 4.7.2 from the repository. When I open Eclipse, I select File -> New -> Project -> Fortran Project, then select Executable -> Empty Project. After entering a project name and selecting the only toolchain available (Intel Fortran Toolchain on Intel 64) and clicking Next, I get to a window with an error message that says

At least one configuration should be available. Project cannot be created.

and I can't progress from there (the Finish button is greyed out). What am I doing wrong? How can I create a fortran project in Eclipse?

[The users guide](http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.photran.doc.user%2Fhtml%2Ftoc.html) says that you should select `Executable (GNU Fortran)`, not `Empty Project`. — Kyle Kanos, Sep 16 '13 at 18:42
@KyleKanos Awesome that worked. Are you going to post it as an answer or are comments it? — Michael A, Sep 17 '13 at 01:56

According to the user's guide, you should select Executable (GNU Fortran) and not Empty Project.
