The above should probably be FC (the package does not use fc).

I would probably be better to copy fortran/sunos4.m4 to
fortran/linux.m4., but the above might also work.

Linux is not "officially" supported because we do not have a Linux
system.  We have attempted, however, to make the package reasonably
portable.

It would appear that the make(1) utility could not execute the yacc(1)
utility.  Is there something wrong with the yacc(1) file?  I suggest
that you try manually executing the command `yacc -d ncgen.y' in the 
ncgen/ subdirectory.

Please inform me of your progress.
