your program wants version 0.x of libf2c.

if you can recompile the program then you can get around the problem
since ld will automagically look for libf2c.so.2.1 and friends. If you
can't, then either

(as root)

ln -sf /usr/lib/libf2c.so.2.1 /usr/lib/libf2c.0

or grab the old version from sunsite.anu.edu.au in the libs/old
directory.
