Well, as I wrote in the bug report, there is gfortran-4.4 (gcc-gfortran44)
available in CentOS 5 repositories. However, it can't compile the OpenMP
version of the code. I've submitted a bug to CentOS bugtracker for that
already.

Also, I'm trying to build a package (I'm the package maintainer of cp2k
packages for Fedora and EPEL), which means I have to use what's available
in the official repositories or package it myself and add as a (build)
dependency.

Regards,
Dominik
