I don't recall if FC5 had gfortran or g77, but it did have a fortran
compiler.  The RPM would be called gcc-g77 or gcc-gfortran.  Get it from
wherever you get your FC5 rpms.  gfortran replaced g77 and includes
support for FORTRAN 77 as well as Fortran 90 and up.

But John is right--you really should upgrade to F12, at least.  (You can
still get support for F11, but that will go away once F13 comes out.)
