Question COBOL on linux?!

Hello guys,

I'm searching for a good COBOL compiler which runs on linux. In fact I have found one but I'm really lost with its installation!! I don't know how to install it and how it works. In fact I'm not so good in linux and I always have problems with installation, but this time it's impossible for me to install this software.
The compiler is COBOL for gcc, the documentation is here:

http://cobolforgcc.sourceforge.net/cobol_toc.html

Could anyone help me with installing this or recommend me some other COBOL compilers?
Thx

Whenever I want to find UNIX programs, I just do a word search on packages.gentoo.org. None of it's distro specific becuse gentoo builds everything from scratch in the first place. Looking for cobol found OpenCobol and TinyCobol.

These look much easier to build than cobolforgcc. You don't need the entire effing GCC source tree. OpenCobol just needs libtool and gmp, and tinycobol only needs glib.
