I have the default repositories in yum (I added one - forgot what it was and can't check now as I am in OS X) and yum didn't find g77 (I typed "yum install g77"). I have been using g77 for years in OS X, though I switched to xlf when it became (temporarily, alas) available on OS X (at a great price for edu users and with a 30% to 70% improvement in performance compared to g77). I am surprised that configure didn't flag the absence of g77 and not create a makefile.
