The above message contained the following:

With the information that you sent, I believe that the problem was
incorrect setting of certain environment variables prior to executing
the "configure" script.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 and 4, which are described near the end of the
        file INSTALL.html.

    3.  Set the following environment variables to the indicated values:

            Variable              Value

            CC                    /usr/bin/gcc
            CPPFLAGS              -Df2cFortran
            FC                    /usr/bin/f77
            FFLAGS                -Wno-globals
            CXX                   /usr/bin/g++

        Note that the variable "CPPFLAGS" is set to "-Df2cFortran"

        The way that you set these variables will depend on your
        user-shell:

            Standard shell (e.g. sh, ksh, bash):

                export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran
                ...

            csh-like shell (e.g. csh, tcsh):

                setenv CPPFLAGS -Df2cFortran
                ...

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

Please let me know if this helps.
