[GEMPAK #IGK-881341]: HHZ - 982841 Can't Install Required GEMPAK Libraries

Jeff,

the command "locate gfortran" is not returning a matching binary executable, so 
it seems your system does not have gfortran installed.  if it were installed 
but not being found in your environment $PATH then the locate command should 
have found where it was hidden.  alas, it's not there.

the command 

yum provides \*gfortran\*

run as root will return the package which provides gfortran for your system.  
for my 64bit fc12 system, for example, the above command shows the package

gcc-gfortran-4.4.4-10.fc12.x86_64

and on my system, I have both

gcc-gfortran-4.4.4-10.fc12.x86_64
libgfortran-4.4.4-10.fc12.x86_64

installed.

So, you will need to use the "yum provides ..." command to find the gfortran 
packages, or on a whim you can try "yum install gcc-gfortran" and see if yum 
installed any package dependencies along with gfortran.
