Do you have f2c installed? If not...

Code:

# yum install f2c

Once you have it installed, read the man page for it ("man f2c") for a complete list of options and abilities, but here is a generic usage of it:

Code:

$ f2c input_file

F2c will just create a C or C++ file of the same name in the current directory. Once f2c translates the code into C or C++, you won't need to use G77 (actually, g77 is practically useless at this point) - you will be using gcc or g++ to compile the code.

i have tried with
# yum install f2c
the result is given below

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do

then i tried
# man f2c

the result is

No manual entry for f2c

means no f2c is installed.now how can i proceed?

Here's a link to a Fedora Core 7 RPM for f2c: http://atrpms.net/dist/f7/f2c/.
