I did not know that they were continuing to allow g77 at the 4.x level. 
  My understanding is that 4.x is gfortran not g77.  We have tested a 
gfortran 4.2.? which seemed to work nominally.  You are exploring a 
space that we were unaware even existed.

We normally recommend that you take binary installations unless you are 
developing your own aips tasks.  The Intel compiler we use is too 
expensive for most sites but we are allowed to ship binaries which the 
vast majority of our sites now use.  Thes Intel-compiled binaries run 
much faster on Pentium chips than do the binaries compiled under g77.
