Dear All,
Many thanks for the suggestions. I think the best way is to do the upgrade. But the reason that I reluctant to do the upgrade is that I am not an expert in Linux and never installed a Linux OS on a machine. On top of this, the system is a cluster which has 8 nodes each with two dual core Opteron 2212 CPUs. There are few programs installed on the system and I am worry that I couldn't do the upgrade correctly and couldn't get the cluster up and running as before.
Does the upgrade keeps track of the current configuration and keep every thing as before, without affecting the setup required for the communication among different nodes of the cluster, as well as the programs installed on the system? How difficult is that for a beginner with no previous experience on Linux OS installation. I am familiar with using Linux as an OS and usually do the installation of programs, but never done the configuration of system itself.
Cheers,
Siavoush

I don't recall if FC5 had gfortran or g77, but it did have a fortran
compiler. 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.)
