This can't be the entire "config.log" file because it ends with a test
of the C++ compiler yet the "configure.log" file shows that the
configure script went further and tested the Fortran-90 compiler:

    checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"...
    on screen during "configure" :
    configure: warning: /usr/bin/c++ failed on test program
    configure: warning: Could not find working C++ compiler
    configure: warning: Setting CXX to the empty string
    configure: warning: The C++ interface will not be built
    configure: warning: The Fortran-90 interface will not be built
    configure: error: Could not compile conftest.c

I think we need to start over.  Please try to rebuild the package from
scratch:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 6 which are described near the end of
        the file INSTALL.html.

Please ensure that BOTH standard output AND standard error of the
configure script are simutaneously redirected to the file 
"configure.log".  For example:

    ./configure >configure.log 2>&1

or

    ./configure >&! configure.log

depending on your user-shell.

Then, please send me the files "configure.log" and "config.log".
