dear all,
i have few codes which only works with g77, and opensuse comes with new gcc, fortran which is gfortran, a frotran90/95 compiler. my question is

  1. How can i install g77, without altering the present configuration in this working system?
  2. can i install some old version of g77 alone, without the corresponding gcc?
  3. do i need to recompile the entire gcc, and downgrade to the older gcc to suit my need?

i hope i can install old gcc version with g77 (or g77 alone, if possible) on /opt/ or in another place, which is not a system path and works parallely with the current gcc

please help me! i deliberately wanted to run these codes!

Did you try installing gcc33-fortran? It will coexist with previously-installed packages without having to worry about /opt.

Does it work with opensuse 10.2 in the same way?

It should. First, see if it is even available for opensuse 10.2 by going into Yast -> Software management and searching for it.
