Fortran missing

I was a user of Redhat and installed Mandrake (10.1) first time. I found no Fortran programming language in it. Can I get it from somewhere?

Set up your URPMI sources.

You'll find a slew of programming libraries, compilers, programming environments, debuggers, etc. available to you under "install software" once you do.

See my sig.

I tried to install the software from my DVD disc using the "Configure Your computer > Software Management > Install". I searched for f77, fortran, g77 but could not get. The search result was "none".

Set up your URPMI sources as I indicated.

Then try again.

At least a couple of F77 compilers are there, and there are a slew of math and other libs available all well documented.

I thought the GCC package included Fortran... these packages should work too though:

and

G95 is easy to install on Linux and will compile both Fortran 77 and Fortran 95 code. It is easy to obtain and install, following the directions at http://www.g95.org .
