HI...
I am a beginner in Linux. Few days back i have put Fedora 10 os in my lap top. It is not having Fortran77. Can anybody tell me how to install or download Fortran77 from the internet? I will be thankful to you...
Thanks a lot...

Google has lots of information, this page http://www.nikhef.nl/~templon/fortran.html is centered around fortran on Linux. Since you have FC10, you should be able to type in "yum install g77".....

Hello,

the fortran compiler is part of gcc compiler-collection. Just look at "man gcc" on the commandline.

hello, good day everyone..
i`ve try to install fortran g77 on my pc but some how in the middle of the installation there was a problem.
can somebody help me figure out how to install fortran on my pc.
actually which fortran release that i`ve to use?
for your information, i`m using fedora 10 86 64 bit.

The package which provides the GNU fortran compiler in Fedora is gcc-gfortran. It should be already installed if you selected Development Tools during the OS installation. Otherwise check and install using yum

More information

You will have to post more information about what you did and exactly what happened. Can you post your error messages?

This is the standard guide for a question.

im try to install a software called GAMESS.
and its require fortran77 compiler. actually how do i get to install fortran77?
can you show me step by step installation guide?
i`ve go to above link but i dont get the idea

Hi napi! The step by step instructions are... the only and unique step I put in post #5 of this thread:
or you can use the more friendly Add/Remove software from the Applications menu of the Desktop. Obviuosly this requires you have root privileges in order to install new packages on this system and a valid internet connection (but you can install them from the Fedora installation DVD as well).

I can add that to build an application from source you probably need some other tools, like make and ld. For your convenience you can install them all using the following yum command:
Finally to install the GAMESS software, follow step by step instructions from the developer, having in mind your F77 executable is /usr/bin/gfortran.

ok thans a lot!
