    what distribution of linux?

    I run fedora core 1, and the packages that you need are
    called "gcc" and "gcc-g77", both of which must be installed.
    That will be the case for any Redhat-like distribution.

    Talking to the primary author, I learned g95 does NOT have
    optimization enabled, and will not for at least a few months. Work
    will start when the gcc crew finishes standardizing on a new internal
    representation.

    G95's current performance is not anywhere near competitive with
    commercial F95 compilers, as a result. It is unclear what its future
    performance will be once optimization works, but I would guess it
    to equal or slightly better NAG's and trail Intel's.
