I haven't tested it personally, but installing the gcc-gfortran  
package would be a good start. Gfortran is fairly capable in general,  
and a lot more useful than the old G77 compiler.

The old Compaq compilers for Linux could possibly be installed, if  
you can get a copy. There's been some recent discussion about that,  
but it seems that while it's still available for download from the HP  
site, it's impossible to get the codes to unpack it right now.

I'd suggest trying gfortran now and seeing if your code needs much in  
the way of changes. Keep an eye on this list, because if anyone does  
come up with a reliable way to obtain and install the Compaq compiler  
suite, it'll be posted here.
