The above error is probably caused by not having the C macro "f2cFortran"
defined in the environment variable CPPFLAGS (the install file contains
examples of this).

Try the following:

    1.  Go to the to-level source directory.

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

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-Df2cFortran".

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

Yes.
