I would guess that, in the file fortran/ftest.F, the macro NCSHORT_T
isn't being converted to it's correct, system-dependent, definition,
which indicates that the file isn't being correctly preprocessed.  The
definition for that macro should be in the file fortran/nfconfig.in.  Is
it?  If so, then try manually generating the file fortran/ftest.f.  Look
at it to see if the macro has been replaced.  If not, then figure out
why not.  Did the environment variable FFLAGS contain the option "-Wp-F"
when you executed the configure script (it doesn't appear to)?  See the
INSTALL file for more information on correct environmental variable
settings.

If you need to re-execute the configure script, then be sure to do the
following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" it it exists.

    4.  Set the environment variables.

    5.  Execute the configure script.
