Hi George,
The obsolete warning is probably not a big deal, however, the compilation should be tested since compiling with gfortran has not been well tested for feff7.  If you can get an old version of g77, you won't have issues. Otherwise, I would use the following command when running gfortran.

gfortran -finit-local-zero -o feff702 feff702.f

This may not work with your version of gfortran (-finit-local-zero is not in the manual) but if it does, the compiled feff will be less likely to have runtime errors.
Cheers,
Josh Kas

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:

           if (den.eq.0) pause 'failure in polint'
                                                                      1
Warning: Obsolete: PAUSE statement at (1)
bash-3.2$

Any idea as to what the problem is now?

Thank you,
George
