Hello,

This is a binary installation of the g77-0.5.22 for Linux. It has *only* ELF
runtime support.


-=System requirements:=-

(ELF)
gcc          == 2.7.2.3
libc         5.4.xx, where xx >= 23

I believe "==" and ">=" shouldn't require additional explanations.
binutils, ld.so etc should be appropriate for the above.

-=To install:=-

su - root
rm -f /usr/lib/libg77.so.0
cd /
tar xvf <path_to_g77.tar>/g77.tar

NOTE! This will overwrite /usr/bin/gcc with a new version! You may want to back
it up before or just rename to, say, /usr/bin/gcc-nof77. It will remain fully
functional. But that is the only thing to be overwritten. I made a minor change
to the g77 driver so it looks for libg77 instead of (default) libf2c. Therefore,
you may safely use both f2c and g77, each will use its own runtime library.

If you have a Linux-specific question or bug report, please address it to me,
and NOT Craig Burley.

Enjoy!

Evgeny
