The copy of the file "configure.log" that you sent contained the
following:

    checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) c89 -E
    checking user-defined Fortran-77 compiler 
"/usr/pgi/linux86/5.2/bin/pgf90"... failed to compile test program
    checking for Fortran .F compiler... 
    checking for Fortran preprocessor... c89 -E
    checking user-defined Fortran-90 compiler 
"/usr/pgi/linux86/5.2/bin/pgf90"... failed to compile test program

This indicates a severe problem with the pgf90(1) compiler.  Details
about the problem should be in the file "config.log" in the top-level
source-directory.  Unfortunately, the copy of that file that you sent
was corrupted.

Please send me the file "config.log", which should be in your top-level
source-directory.
