Hi,

Hi,

Although you have installed Absoft compilers, they are not being found by the 
configure script, because apparently the gfortran compiler is found first in 
your PATH:

...
configure: finding Fortran compiler (will not be used if Fortran API is not 
desired)
checking for xlf90... no
checking for fort... no
checking for xlf95... no
checking for ifort... no
checking for ifc... no
checking for efc... no
checking for pgf95... no
checking for lf95... no
checking for gfortran... gfortran
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran compiler... yes
checking whether gfortran accepts -g... yes

If you really want to use the Absoft compilers, you will need to modify your 
PATH so the Absoft bin directory appears earlier than the directory containing 
gfortran compiler in your PATH environment variable before running the 
configure script.  However, I have installed an evaluation copy of the Absoft10 
compilers for MacOS X on an Intel Mac, and I still encounter problems with 
running the configure script using the Absoft f77 and f95:

checking for f95... f95
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran compiler... no
checking whether f95 accepts -g... no
checking for xlf... no
checking for fort... no
checking for xlf95... no
checking for ifort... no
checking for ifc... no
checking for efc... no
checking for pgf77... no
checking for lf95... no
checking for gfortran... no
checking for f77... f77
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... no
checking whether f77 accepts -g... no
configure: setting up Fortran 90
checking for Fortran flag to compile .f90 files... unknown

I'm looking into a workaround for this, but haven't got it to work yet.  There 
are notes about how to build with Absoft 9.2 compilers here, which may also 
work with Absoft 10 versions:
