Hmm...  Haven't tested that combination.  Do you not have the Sun
WorkShop C and Fortran compilers?

Does this happen when you "run" (i.e. execute) the "nf_test" utility 
or when you attempt to link it together?

I'm afraid that it not obvious to me from the above what the problem is.

Would you please send me the following:

    3.  The standard output and error output of the configure script.

    4.  The absolute pathnames of all compilers (C, FORTRAN, C++) used
        in the build process (use the type(1) or which(1) utility to
        determine this).

    5.  The contents of the file "config.log", which is in the top-level
        source directory.
