The above message contained the following:

Yes.

You should have executed the command "make" before the command "make
install".

You need to tell the C compiler what Fortran calling-conventions to
use when compiling the Fortran interface by defining a certain C macro
before executing the configure script.  If you do not need a Fortran
interface, then you should define the "generic" macro "f2cFortran";
otherwise, you should look at the examples in the file INSTALL in the
top-level source directory to see what macro to define.

Please try the following:

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

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

    3.  Ensure that the Fortran-defining C macro is defined, e.g.,

            export CPPFLAGS='-Df2cFortran -UNDEBUG'

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS '-Df2cFortran -UNDEBUG'

        depending on your user-shell and whether or not you need a
        Fortran interface.

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

Please let me know if this helps.
