At this point, it appears you have really munged up your system. 
It may be best to delete all of the gcc distributions that you 
have tried to install and the version of gfortran that comes 
with CentOS.  You definitely do not want to use 4.1.2.

First, read the installation instruction at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
An important detail to get correct is to have the correct versions
of GMP/MPFR/MPC installed on your system.  If you don't have the correct
versions on your system, then remove the old versions and install GMP,
MPFR, and/or MPC.

Now, download gcc-4.4.2, and following the installation instructions.
