I see the problem (read on).

We don't have a Fortran-90 compiler on our Linux systems.

If you can't get your Absoft f90 working (see below), then yes, you
might need to use another compiler.

The above indicates that your Absoft f90 compiler failed to compile the
configure script's test program.  The reason for the failure is in the
file "config.log":

The above indicates that you have a problem with your Absoft f90 license.

I suggest that you correct this problem and try again.
