Hmm. Redhat has the g2c stuff in 

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/g2c.h
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/libg2c.a

Generally, the file comes with the EGCS g77 (egcs-g77-1.1.2-12 here).
Try 'locate g2c' and if that fails go through the RPMS on the CD with

rpm -qlp /path/to/RPMS/*.rpm | grep g2c

- except for developers, it would seem....
