This has been written up many times already.  It would be nice if it  
was in the documentation.

g77 can only be used with gcc-3.x and earlier.  The default compiler  
on Tiger is gcc-4.

All you need to do to build with g77 on Tiger is use the command
sudo gcc_select 3.3
which will make gcc-3.3 the default compiler and it will all work.
