Just upgraded my Fedora to 3.0. Got Gcc as CD , version 4.0.0, which I installed with yum install gcc.
Trying to run ./configure for a program, message shows: No F77 or f2c found.
How do I know which programs are installed? I think some fedora is installed.
Is gcc installed correctly?
Thanks hexadog

Ignore it all you need to compile gcc is gcc ./configure --prefix=/opt && make bootstrap

/opt is a good place to put gcc-4.0 so it doesn't conflict with your reguler gcc.

Started from the begining. Got GCC from CD in /opt and extracted the tar files. But still does not work.
What is that --prefix in your suggestion? Think there must be some Fortran installed as libs there (from GCC) but the ./configure program still brings no F77 or f2c found. Is it possible that it's not in the PATH?
thanks hexadog

You losing me here bud is gcc-4.0 and rpm or a tar.gz or tar.bz2?
the --prefix=/opt tells configure to install all the gcc files to /opt so you wont overwrite you normal gcc.

I am probably the one that is lost...
the gcc cd I got from collegue contains lots of tar. gz and tar.bz2 ex: gcc-4.0.0.tar.gz and the same with .tar.bz2. Then there are gcc-ada, gcc-core, gcc-fortran, etc also everything bz2 and gz. there is also a folder called diffs, containing gcc-3.4.3.4.0.0.diff.bz2 and .gz (etc, also for the others).
So I just don't know the differences of them all, as well as which to install.
On the original DVD coming with Fedora 3 is a gcc.4.0.0 but rpm.
What do I take and how to install. Thanks for your patience.hexadog
