The Gnu compiler collection provides two Fortran compilers:

  + GCC v3.x and older:  g77
  + GCC v4.x and newer:  gfortran

MITgcm works nicely with g77 and mostly works with gfortran if you use
newer (v4.1 or later) versions of it.

By default, debian etch uses the GCC v4.1.1 compiler suite so you should
have no trouble installing the gfortran compiler.  For more info, see:
