You must specify this information manually before executing the configure script by defining a particular C macro in the CPPFLAGS environment variable. 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. 3. Define the C macro "f2cFortran" in the CPPFLAGS environment variable. For example, export CPPFLAGS=f2cFortran or setenv CPPFLAGS f2cFortran depending on your user shell. 2. Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file INSTALL. Please let me know if this helps. Regards, Steve Emmerson
