Rule-of-thumb, especially for new users:
  
  - use the right compiler driver to compile/link programs. For C programs,
    use gcc, for C++ use c++ and for F77 use g77.

There are cases where you need a different driver, but then you'd have to
know what libraries need to be linked in explicitly and so on. Not worth
the hassle for usual projects, but sometimes needed for multi-language
projects, especially when mixing F77 and C/C++.
