I installed gfortran-4.2.3.dmg file on top of the gfortran-42-5577.pkg and can now see "gfortran" in '/usr/local/bin'. I am also able to compile simple fortran code, but when I attempt to run Feff7 I get the following message:

bash-3.2$ /usr/local/bin/gfortran -o feff702 feff702.f
feff702.f:12161.72:

            if (den.eq.0) pause 'failure in polint'                    
                                                                       1
Warning: Obsolete: PAUSE statement at (1)
feff702.f:12226.72:

                                                                       1
Warning: Obsolete: PAUSE statement at (1)
bash-3.2$

Any idea as to what the problem is now?

Thank you,
George

Yes, those are all possible.   You need to install gfortran, find out
where it is, and then run it to compile and link feff702 into an
executable.    It sounds like you might want to get a local unix-savvy
person who can help you....
