Hi,
If you really want to do Fortran programming on OS X, you've got at
least two choices.
1. Buy Absoft Fortran, a bit pricey but will give you all the
"comforts of home" and tech support.
2. Go to sourceforge.net and download an install Fink. At the Fink
home page is a description of this project which has ported a large
number of "Unix" type programs for OS X. One of the available ports
is G77 GNU Fortran. There's a bit of a learning curve with Fink, but
it's well worth your time to learn it.
HTH,
Phil
P.S. Apple also hosts a list named email@hidden.
This discussion would be more appropriate for that list.

I am trying to run two FEA programs on my ibook. I have installed
the developers tools. It seems that the fortran compiler is not
found when trying to compile the code.
Apple does not supply a Fortran compiler with Xcode.
also it seems that XFree86 files libX11.a and Xlib.h are not
present with all the other X11 files.
You need to install the X11 SDK when installing the Developer Tools
to get these files; installing the X11 client doesn't install
development-time files.
Which will run faster? Unix version of a program or a ported,
native version?
That is an unanswerable question. It depends entirely on what the
program does and what kind of "port" is necessary. Generally, for
"faceless" code (that does not present a user interface) there is
no "port" necessary, so the "Unix version" and the "ported, native
version" are the same and will run at the same speed. For user
interface code, porting from X11 to the native Cocoa user interface
may make some parts faster, some parts slower.
