Delphine,

Here are the details of the problem from your config.log file:

   ...
   configure:22892: checking if Fortran "byte" is C "signed char"
   configure:22902: cc -c  -g -O2  conftest.c
   conftest.c: In function 'sub_':
   conftest.c:4: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in
   function 'exit'
   configure:22905: $? = 0
   configure:22908: ifort -g  -c conftestf.f
   configure:22911: $? = 0
   configure:22914: ifort -o conftest -g   conftestf.o conftest.o
   ipo: warning #11023: file format not recognized for conftest.o
   ld64 warning: in conftest.o, file is not of required architecture
   Undefined symbols:
     _sub_, referenced from:
         _MAIN__ in conftestf.o
   ld64-62.1 failed: symbol(s) not found
   configure:22917: $? = 1
   configure:22940: error: Could not link conftestf.o and conftest.o

This seems to be saying that the object file conftest.o created by cc is not
recognized
as an object file by the ifort compiler.  I suspect your cc compiler is
compiling 32-bit
objects but your ifort is compiling (and expecting) 64-bit objects.  You may
have two
versions of the ifort compiler, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.  You could
determine
which you are using (and whether my guess is correct) by using the "file"
command on
a .o object file created by ifort and by cc.  If it turns out you are using the
64-bit
version of ifort, see if you can't find the 32-bit version to use instead.

I found something about this via Google, where "Dr. Fortran" said:

  There's only one download for Mac which provides both the 32-bit and 64-bit
  compilers
  and libraries.  You select the one you want with the appropriate "source"
  command -
  the path with /fc/ for 32-bit and the path with /fce/ for 64-bit.

I don't have ifort, but the above may mean something to you.
