Installing gfortran

How on earth do I actually
a. Find the download for gfortran?
b. Install and run gfortran?

I am running on Mac OSX Tiger with a G3 PowerMac. I have to run it to
run a code given to me by my prof and one of my research projects is
written in Fortran 77. Please help me. Thank You.

There are also some package managers that work on OSX that include
gcc and gfortran. The one I use is fink

http://www.finkproject.org/

It currently has gcc 4.3.x, but not 4.4.x. This delay in
incorporating new releases is typical of package managers. They
simplify keeping everything consistent and synced together, but you
sometimes don't have access to the very latest development versions.

BTW, Xcode 3.1 from Apple includes several versions of gcc,
including (I think) 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 (although ppc and intel
may have different versions). However, none of them include
gfortran. Anyone know why they go to extra effort to disable
something as useful as gfortran? Is there any way to sign a
petition or something to get them to stop shooting themselves (and
us) in the foot? I could understand why they might have done this a
couple of years ago, but now gfortran is fairly robust.

I'm really struggling with my non-windows gfortran capability. The package
manager doesn't seem to use the version numbers others talk about.

Steve Kargl posted source that used /dev/random/ as a seed for a PRNG. I
was unable to replicate. dev/random/ exists on ubuntu, but I can't get
gfortran to build an executable that executes. Oh well.
