If you followed the instructions on the page, it would have installed correctly.
It's just a dumb tarball; it can't find anything other than the relative paths
to install to (and tarballs with absolute paths are very, very bad). The
instructions show you how to give the appropriate root.

  sudo tar -xvf gfortran-bin.tar -C /

Well, then something is still messed up with your gfortran installation. My f951
executable is here:

  /usr/local/libexec/gcc/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1/4.2.0/f951

I'm getting a 550 error code in response.
