g77: installation problem, cannot exec f771: No such file or directory

[Herve Seitz <seitz at ibcg dot biotoul dot fr>]

Hello,

I can't manage to install Cygwin with the gcc package correctly: I 
installed the latest Cygwin version (1.3.17-1) under Windows NT4.0, 
including the "gcc" package, and the whole installation seemed to work, but 
when I try to use the g77 compiler, I get that error message:
g77: installation problem, cannot exec f771: No such file or directory

(whereas I checked f771.exe was actually present, namely, in the 
/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/ directory)

As a matter of fact, I am a pure newbie, and I try to fix it by myself : I 
was quite confident since I installed Cygwin, gcc included, in January ; 
but yesterday I tried to install the latest Cygwin release, and since that 
time, I can't compile my fortran programs any more ...

I tried to re-install Cygwin a dozen times, with little changes (selecting 
or not the gcc and gcc-mingw packages, with or without the Src, ...), and I 
never had more success ...

I guess my point is really trivial, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn 
that the answer is obvious (I tried to find it in the FAQ, but all the 
messages I could read about gcc installation were much more complicated 
than what seems to happen to me). Last thing : I did a Google search with 
the error message I get ("g77: installation problem, cannot ..."), and the 
only page found was written in Chinese 
(http://freebsd.ntu.edu.tw/bsd/5/17/25.html) ; and as I'm still better in 
installing gcc packages than in understanding Chinese ...

Might anybody help me ? Thank you very much in advance !
