Everything looks OK. In order to proceed further, I need you to create the file "fortran/fort-varmio.i" and send it to me. Please do the following: 1. Go into the "fortran/" subdirectory. 2. Execute the command make fort-varmio.i 3. Send me that file. Also, would you please send me the file "configure.log", which is described near the end of the file INSTALL.html in the top-level source directory. Regards, Steve Emmerson
