I realize I'm ignoring your question, but have you considered upgrading to 
a supported release of Fedora, such as 11 or 12 or Rawhide (F13 Beta)?? 
There's a better chance you'll be able to install whatever it is you're 
wanting to install if you have a "modern" install of Fedora. If you don't 
want to do that, I recommend you consider installing either RedHat 
Enterprise or CentOS, which is basically RedHat Enterprise which has been 
recompiled to remove all references to RedHat, but is still the same thing.

Also, you can download a Fortran 77 compiler here:
