same for me here. though I have tested ifort only, working with GNU 
fortran. ifort worked as 64bit also, but i didnt see any improvement, 
since it will just make your EXE larger (64bit offsets etc), and i am 
not using more than 4gb per process (using dual-core w/ MPI instead).

as for latex, I use "fink" package manager. works well.
some packages like libnetcdf come with fink, too, but the last time i 
checked it, it came without fortran support...
it is advisable to have a set of ifort and a set of GNUfortran libraries 
anyways, so d/l the source and compiling/installing it into seperate 
directories is necessary (to avoid any compilation/linking problems etc).
