This installs a very old version of gfortran (over 3 years and 4 major revisions old). FreeBSD for example provides gfortran8 from 2018 (version 8.2.0), or optionally, the development version gfortran9 version 9.0.0 20180923. How can a Centos 7.5 user install the most up-to-date version of gfortran? Or failing that, a version significantly newer than version 4.8.5?
The official version in CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 will unlikely change https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting .
But there are some packages that may be used, such as the devtoolset-7 from SCL https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting .
Or you may build it from the source code.
No package gcc-fortran available.
