This isn't related to your Fortran-90 problem, but if you want to build
the C++ interface, then copy the "ncconfig.in" attachment into the
"cxx/" subdirectory and re-execute the configure script.

The above "errors" are expected and are ignorable. Apparently it's
necessary to specify an apppriate option in the F90FLAGS environment
prior to executing the configure script in order to cause your
Fortran-90 compiler to ignore such "errors". Unfortunately, our HP-UX 11
system doesn't have a Fortran-90 compiler, so I can't tell you what that
option is. At least one Fortran-90 compiler I know uses the "-w" option
to ignore such "errors". Check the documentation on your Fortran-90
compiler.

When you're ready to retry, then do 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 F90FLAGS contains the
        option that will cause the compiler to ignore "errors" like
        the above.

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

Please let me know if this helps.
