I'm running Mandriva Linux 2010.0 x86_64 with, among other things,
gcc-gfortran-4.4.1-4.1mnb2. And SLES 10.10. And various other\
distributions.

If you've installed this package and all its dependencies, you
*should*be*able*to*use*gfortran*.

But you can't (at least, you can't use "-fopenmp" successfully),
unless you also install the (obscure) libgomp-devel package.
This is a piece of packaging-dependency idiocy. At the package
level, gcc-gfortran should depend upon libgomp-devel.

Is this the vendor's fault? ...or the "gcc" people? ...or both?
It NEEDS fixing.

FWIW -- Carlie Coats.

It's the vendor's fault.
