The above message contained the following:

> I can't make configure.log ,make.log, test.log and install.log

Those files are created by your user shell when you redirect the
standard output and standard error streams of the associated commands.
If you can't create them, then you have a very serious problem with
your operating system and I will not be able to help you. It seems more
likely that you did not understand my request.

I see from the file "config.log" that you did not use the C macro
"f2cFortran":

> configure:1933: checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"
<br>
> configure:1942: cc -c -DNDEBUG -O conftest.c
<br>

This is probably the cause of your problem.  Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

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

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

            export CPPFLAGS='-Df2cFortran -DNDEBUG'

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS '-Df2cFortran -DNDEBUG'

        depending on your user shell.  There are examples of this for a
        Linux system in the file INSTALL.html.

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

If you have problems, then you MUST send me the files described in the
steps of the file INSTALL.html; otherwise, I will not be able to help
you. If you do not understand or think that this is impossible, then
please talk to someone who might know more about building packages on a
Linux or UNIX system. Unless your system was made by the devil himself
in a factory in hell, it is possible to create those files. :-)
