The RPM would be called gcc-g77 or gcc-gfortran. Get it from wherever you get your FC5 rpms. gfortran replaced g77 and includes support for FORTRAN 77 as well as Fortran 90 and up. But John is right--you really should upgrade to F12, at least. (You can still get support for F11, but that will go away once F13 comes out.) -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
