Try telling the configure script to assume a particular Fortran
compiler (it doesn't matter whether or not it actually exists).

Do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains, say, the
        string "f2cFortran" (this should keep the "make" happy), e.g.,

            export CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS -Df2cFortran

        depending on your user-shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html

If you encounter problems, please following the procedure described near
the end of the file INSTALL.html about reporting problems.
