That will work with a standard user-shell.  You're probably using a
non-standard shell (e.g., csh(1)).

My manual page for the pgf90 compiler indicates that "-tp p6" is for
Pentium  Pro/II processors.  The option "-tp px", however, should "work
on any x86-compatible processor".  You might try that instead.

This point is moot, however, since we're still struggling with the C
interface.

Your O/S is older and your gcc(1) is newer than ours, so I can't
duplicate your problem.

However, we've never had to use a CPU-dependent option when compiling
with gcc(1).

The file "configure.log" that you sent didn't indicate any problems.

I'm afraid I've run out of ideas.

Good luck.
