Here's the file "make.log" that you sent:

This is too short: there should be more in the file.  There is also no
indication as to why this file is truncated: there is no error message.
Was the standard error stream redirected to this file during the "make"
step?

As a guess as to why the "make" failed, please ensure that the
environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the string "-Df2cFortran" before
executing the configure script.

Please let me know if this helps.
