OK, I see a problem in your setting for these 3 environment variables:

  CFLAGS='-g –O'
  CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG –DpgiFortran'
  FFLAGS='-g –O2 –mp –recursive'

The character '–' you are using for some of these options is not the same as an 
ASCII '-' character that is required.  Try using these settings instead:

  CFLAGS='-g -O'
  CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -DpgiFortran'
  FFLAGS='-g -O2 -mp -recursive'

They may look the same, but note that '–O' is different from '-O', for example.
