I'm not a Fink expert, but at least I can try to answer this one / save time for the Fink wizzards :)
gcc 'normally' includes a Fortran compiler, g77.
Apple decided not to install g77 with gcc 3.1, but since it is needed sometimes, it is now one of the packages you can obtain via Fink.
Since Apple Dev Tools do not include g77, there should be no trouble at all if you install g77 via Fink.
In a way, you're likely to end up with a more 'standard' gcc distribution, since gcc should come with g77...
I've heard in Fortran forums that Apple is considering including g77 with the next distributions of Dev Tools (i.e. in fact not removing g77 from gcc...).
In that case, the Fink package will become obsolete.
Meanwhile, thank you guys!!!

Mac OS X 10.2 uses the gcc3 compiler. And, as far as I can tell, it does a good job.Now when I started installing scilab, fink wants to install g77. Is that going to interfere with MacOSX's own C compiler?
