the difference between g77 and f77 is that one is public, open-source software meant to work on most architectures, and that the other is (generally, anyway) supplied as a binary, and precompiled for your specific architecture.
there's a lot more to "installing" a package like BLAS than compiling source into object files. you are going to really have a hard time trying to learn how to do it all by hand. (and really, even doing it by hand is kind of insane and if it works at all, it will not work very well; you really should use the autoconfig / makefile function.) since you are on fedora, learn how to use yum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Updater,_Modified to install the prerequisite packages for mpb. its very simple. and start by fixing your fortran installation if you think it's broken.
