Hi Moti,

From the "make check" output you sent, it also looked like everything worked OK
with the pgi 9.0-1 compilers also, except for the final "make install" step.

That step had nothing to do with the compilers, so I'm not sure why things 
worked
better with the older compilers.  However, the "make install" failed becasue the
configure script had somehow computed that the directory /work/m/mmittal was a
"BSD-compatible install program", as this output in config.log shows:

  checking for a BSD-compatible install... /work/m/mmittal

I don't understand how this could have happened.  Maybe you have your own 
"install"
or "install.sh" program set in your PATH or maybe you have an INSTALL 
environment
variable set to /work/m/mmittal, but I still don't see how a directory could be
mistaken as an executable install probram by the configure script.  Try running
"make install" in a new subshell, and make sure you don't have any environment
variables set to "/work/m/mmittal" in that subshell.  If that doesn't work, I'm
stumped.
