On a Linux system, one usually needs to define the C macro "f2cFortran"
to make the Fortran-callable routines visible. The file INSTALL.html
contains examples of this.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

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

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

            export CPPFLAGS="-Df2cFortran"

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

Please let me know if this helps.
