Help on gcc-2.7.2.3

[Shane Gardner]

Hello:

I am sending this email in a last ditch effort to get some help.  I am
trying desparately
to install the gcc-2.7.2.3 packages with fortran.  I need this compiler
to install an
antiquated software package.  I have overcome the "bug" (SFType in
bc-typecd.def changed
to "double") in installing the regular gcc.  However, the version I have
is missing fortran.  I 
have another RPM that is supposed to add f77, but I cannot figure out
how to get it installed.

Is there a release of gcc-2.7.2.3 that will have everything when I build
it?

Thanks in advance!!
PS.  I am running Redhat 7.1.

No.  Your best bet is to build from source, i.e., get:

gcc-2.7.2.3.tar.gz and g77-0.5.21.tar.gz

and follow the instructions in the README file in g77-0.5.21.tar.gz on
how to build the two together.
