I am using R-1.5.0 on a Mandrake 8.1 box and also had problems with a Fortran compiler several months ago. I no longer remember the details but I needed to install an additional g77 module. My software manager lists two installed packages: egcs-g77 and gcc3.0-g77 and I do seem to be running g77 version 3.0.1. These packages are part of the distribution. Anyhow, you may not need to compile the sources, CRAN has precompiled binaries for Mandrake 8.1 which work well. I hope this helps.
