If you're on a Linux system using GNU C, then I suspect that you need to
define the "f2cFortran" C macro before attempting to build the package.

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 at the end of the INSTALL file.

    3.  At step 5 of the INSTALL file, ensure that the environment
        variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-Df2cFortran".

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 at the end of the INSTALL file.
