Christian,

I have built the latest GEMPAK under FC4 with g77/gcc settings
as supplied with the distribution. If your g77 program core dumps,
then it sounds like a problem with the installation.

Our FC4 32 bit environment is:
2.6.12-1.1398_FC4

g77 -v
--->>> gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4)

gcc -v
--->>> gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)


Gfortran use is not recommended at this time according to the
gfortran man page:
        For those whose Fortran codes conform to either the Fortran 77
        standard or the GNU Fortran 77 language, we recommend to use g77
        from GCC 3.4.  We recommend that distributors continue to
        provide packages of g77-3.4 until we announce that gfortran
        fully replaces g77.
