Christopher,

The configure(1) script wasn't told what argument-passing
conventions to use when compiling C functions that are callable
from Fortran routines.  Please try the following:

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

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-Df2cFortran" (or whatever macro definition is
        appropriate for your Fortran compiler), e.g.,

            CPPFLAGS=-Df2cFortran; export CPPFLAGS

        The set of potential macros can be found in the examples of
        the file INSTALL in the top-level source-directory.

    4.  Execute the "configure" script.  Redirect both the
        standard output and standard error streams to the file
        "configure.log".

    5.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect both the standard
        output and standard error streams to the file "make.log".

    6.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect both the
        standard output and standard error streams to the file
        "test.log".

    7.  Execute the command "make install".  Redirect both the
        standard output and standard error streams to the file "install.log".

Steve Emmerson
