On your platform, 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".

[Note the above was subsequently found to be wrong.  Should have been:
    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string
        "-D_HPUX_SOURCE" and that the environment variable FFLAGS
        contains the string "-O 3".
]

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

Please let us know if this doesn't fix the problem.
