I believe the problem is that you are specifying the flag
"-DpgiFortran" in your CPPFLAGS (or CFLAGS) environment variable, but
you aren't actually using the PGI (Portland Group) compiler, so the
wrong Fortran-to-C calling conventions are getting used.  

Try the following and please let me know if it works:

 - Go to to the top-level source directory.

 - Execute the command "make distclean".

 - Set the environment variable CPPFLAGS to contain the string "-Df2cFortran".

 - Re-execute the configure script.

 - Execute the command "make".

 - Execute the command "make test".
