It appears from the above that the "-O" option to the "fort77" compiler
requires a numeric argument.  This means that the FFLAGS environment
variable must be appropriately set before executing the configure
script.

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.  Ensure that the environment variable FFLAGS contains the strings
        "-O 3" and "-D_HPUX_SOURCE".

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

Please let me know if this helps.
