The above message contained the following:

The above indicates that the configure script did not attempt to use the
Fortran compilers that you wanted to use.  It is likely that the
environment variables FC and F90 were not correctly set before the
configure script was executed.  (ASIDE: this also appears to be the case
with the C compiler as I noticed you mentioned gcc(1) but that the
configure script used c89(1) instead.)

What user-shell are you using (e.g., bash(1), csh(1))?
