g77 is the standard GNU FORTRAN compiler, it is part of the same GNU
compiler collection that provides gcc.  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.
