The f77 driver program has a simple minded idea (based on history) that only
one version of f77pass1 exists. In fact, f77pass1 has two variants:
f77pass110 and f77pass120. Depending on whether your machine has a MC68020
processor or a MC68010 processor and depending on the system defaults set
up by your system administrator, one or the other will be used as f77pass1.

I'm not sure what the problem is but I would suggest checking that
/usr/lib/f77pass110 and /usr/lib/f77pass120 have the appropriate execute
permissions for you.

I can't tell what release you are working on. To find out, use the 
"uname -a" command.
