Then you should use the "-vms" option.  Do this:

    0.  See the URL later in this message and modify your sources
        accordingly.

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

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

    4.  Set your environment variables.  Ensure that the environment
        variable FFLAGS contains the option "-vms".

    5.  Execute the configure script.  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "configure.log".  If an error occurs,
        then send me the file.

    6.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "make.log".  If an error occurs, then
        send me the file.

    8.  Follow the remaining directions in the INSTALL file.

Take a look at the following:

I think it'll solve your problem.
