It is often a separate package though. I have not looked at scilab, but I do know that the standard autotools will search for about twenty different FORTRAN compilers when it needs one to compile some FORTRAN. Since TSS is heavily into super computing and scientific applications, it would surprise me if you could not find some suitable FORTRAN compiler somewhere in the yum repositories. Disclaimer - I have no YDL or PPC hardware to run it on, but I expect to have them soon. So the above is only guess work.
