The above message contained the following:

> I am sure that make distclean works.

Execute the command "make distclean" in the top-level source directory.
If the file "config.cache" still exists, then this command isn't working.

The above indicates that the string "Df2cFortran" in the CPPFLAGS macro 
is missing a necessary minus sign (-) prefix (i.e., the string should be
"-Df2cFortran").  I apologize for not catching this earlier.

Please 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 CPPFLAGS contains the
        word "-Df2cFortran" and not the word "Df2cFortran".

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

Please let me know if this works.

Steve Emmerson
