How about "I wish the NAG Fortran compiler didn't exist?"  :-)

We've had problems with this compiler before.  Unfortunately, we don't
have it in-house, so we can't test against it.

Do you have access to another Fortran compiler on the system?

If not, then would you please try the following:

    1.  Perform steps 2 through 4 near the end of the INSTALL file.

    2.  Peform step 5 in the INSTALL file: set your environment variables
        as before but ensure that the following environment variables
        *contain* the indicated strings:

            ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE        SHOULD CONTAIN
            --------------------        --------------
            CPPFLAGS                    -DNAGf90Fortran
            FFLAGS                      -mismatch

        NOTE: The above value *are in addition to* any that you had
        before.

    3.  Perform steps 6 through 9 near the end of the INSTALL file.

Please let me know what happens.
