f2c.. what happened?

[Herbert Georg <hcgeorg if usp br>]

I'm migrating to red hat and I noticed that there is no f2c in version 9 
at least.
I need it to compile some programs.. someone can tell me why this is so?
I also noticed that even package libf2c does not provide the file 
/usr/lib/lib2fc.a
How can I handle that??

Thanks
Herbert
