The "make" output had the following error:

This means that the CPPFLAGS environment variable will have to define a
particular C macro in order to tell the C compiler what type of Fortran
interface to use.

Please try the following:

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

    2.  Execute the following commands:

            make distclean
            CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran \
                ./configure >configure.log 2>&1 &&
            make >make.log 2>&1 &&
            make test >test.log 2>&1 &&
            make install >install.log 2>&1 &&
            echo OK
