gFortran and the /usr/local/bin directory

Hi,

I've just installed gFortran onto two different Mac OSX computers.   
When I look in the /usr/local/bin directories for each one, my desktop  
computer lists these files:

Magick++-config		fondu			identify			msginit		ps2pdf14
Magick-config		font2c			import			msgmerge	ps2pdfwr
Wand-config			fontforge		libwmf-config	msgunfmt	ps2ps
animate				freetype-config	lprsetup.sh		msguniq		ps2ps2
autopoint			frombin			lumper			ngettext		pv.sh
bdftops				gettext			mogrify			pdf2dsc		setfondname
compare			gettext.sh		montage		pdf2ps		showfond
composite			gettextize		msgattrib		pdfopt		stream
conjure				gs				msgcat			pf2afm		texdist
convert				gs-X11			msgcmp			pfaedit		tobin
dfont2res			gs-noX11		msgcomm		pfbtopfa		ufond
display				gsbj				msgconv		printafm		unix-lpr.sh
dumphint			gsdj				msgen			ps2ascii		wftopfa
dvipdf				gsdj500			msgexec		ps2epsi		xgettext
envsubst			gslj				msgfilter			ps2pdf
eps2eps				gslp				msgfmt			ps2pdf12
fixmswrd.pl			gsnd			msggrep		ps2pdf13


And my laptop has these files:

gfortran


I've never looked in this directory before, but I was wondering if all  
of those other files on my desktop computer were installed by  
gfortran, and if those same files are supposed to be on my laptop  
computer.  I've also installed Xcode, so there shouldn't be a problem  
there.

The reason I ask this question is because I was trying to compile a  
program written by someone else and in the program they have a 'use  
msgfmt' command but when I try to compile it on either my desktop or  
my laptop I get the error:

Fatal Error:  Can't open module file 'msgfmt.mod' for reading at (1):   
No such file or directory

Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks,
Mike
