It appears that your "c89" compiler creates "o32" object files but your
"f90" creates "n32" object files.  You must decide which type of object
file you want and force only that type to be created.

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

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

    3.  Set compilation flags in the environment variables to force one
        type of object file, e.g.

            setenv CFLAGS "-O -n32"
            setenv FFLAGS "-O -n32"

        or

            setenv CFLAGS "-O -o32"
            setenv FFLAGS "-O -o32"

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

Please let me know if this helps.
