The above message contained the following:

The C macro "extname" should cause the C compiler to append an
underscore to all C functions that might be called by Fortran code.
Please try 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 C macro "extname" is defined in the CPPFLAGS
        environment variable, e.g.,

            export CPPFLAGS=-Dextname

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS -Dextname

        depending on your user-shell.

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

If this works, would you please send me your final environment variable
settings.  I'll add them to our "other builds" webpage.

Steve Emmerson
