Dear David:

It is quite likely that libpgc is part of the portland group fortran compiler. A pity that the binary you have downloaded is not statically linked. In the futur Paule-Annabelle is going to provide statically linked RPM.
About g95 : it is a very nice compiler especially for developpers however the resulting binaries have histroically been slow. 
Intel compiler is much less well behaved but produce faster binaries. It might then be your preferred choice. After compilation be sure to go in the tests directory, run "make tests_min" and check in the "report" files (find . -name report) that all (most at least) the tests status are passed or succeeded.
Third possibility: if you really value free software you might want to use gfortran (part of gcc) since gcc-4.2 it is stable enough for Abinit and you'll gain about 30% with respect to g95.

Regards

PMA

Hi,
You can use a free F90 compiler.
In my opinion you should use intel ifort or g95
I have used this two fortran compilers for abinit and I have always succeed.

Best wishes,
