I work with LINUX 8.0, including gcc (0.5.25.20010315),
which unfortunately does not include a FORTRAN compiler.
Therefore I loaded and g77 (2.95.3-219.i386.rpm)
and installed it using "rpm".
Both gcc and g77 are in the directory /usr/bin/,
however, the interaction seems not to work properly.
Trying to compile a fortran source code (extension ".f")
there is no reaction except the message on "g77 -h":
/usr/lib/crt1.o:`In function `_start` (.text+0x18): undefined reference to īmain`.
Unfortunately, you have to go back to whoever provided you with the RPM.
We only distribute source code, no prebuilt packages. The package
maintainer probably made a mistake or didn't describe the installation
procedure correctly (or you misunderstood it :-)
