The above message contained the following:

The environment variable CPPFLAGS (note the trailing "S") is not in
any file; rather, it's an environment variable.  If you do not know
about environment variables, then you should learn about them before
proceeding.  A good place to start would be the manual page for your
user shell or your system administrator.  The file INSTALL has examples
of the use of environment variables.

The lack of an "f2c" compiler does not imply that your Fortran compiler
uses a different set of calling conventions.  Indeed, on a Linux system,
the "f2c", "f77", "g77", and "fortc" Fortran compilers all use the "f2c"
Fortran calling conventions.

If you are using a different Fortran compiler, then please let me know.
