install g77 in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)

Recently i needed to compile some programs with g77, ubuntu 9.04 repositories has gcc 4.3 and gfortran. Unfortunately, gfortran is not compatible with many g77 dependent programs.
There's an easy way to install gcc 3.4 and g77:
add to /etc/sources.list the ubuntu 8.04 hardy repositories:

deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb-src http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy universe
deb http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe
deb-src http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates universe

then in the terminal:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude isntall g77

remove or comment the ubuntu 8.04 repositories in sources.list
that's it

    Would you be so kind as to explain the procedure of installing g77 to a person who started ubuntu few days ago?
    Best regards,

    I'll be glad, but what exactly you have trouble with? What Ubuntu version you have ?

    Hi, thank you very much for this trick. However, I have a trouble withit: when I open my sources.list file by xemacs, and try to copy the aforementioned lines, I get a message like "the file is read-only type". Hence, I cannot add the magic lines to the file.
    How can I solve this?

    Marco, you need to open the file with sudo for example
    "sudo emacs /etc/sources.list" That will give you write permission.

    It should be "sudo emacs /etc/apt/sources.list" but not "sudo emacs /etc/sources.list"

    One can use nano (or) "gedit" (or) "leafpad" (or) "kedit" (or) "vi" (or) "pico" or what ever text editor instead of "emacs"

    badr:
    If you mean
    error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Solution is here: http://imsb.au.dk/pipermail/o-info/2009-October/008450.html
    namely: sudo apt-get install lib32g2c0
