Roy:  I've got it to work with gfortran - the trick is to use FFLAGS = 
-fno-range-check.

If you're getting an error in configure that says "error: Fortran could 
not compile .f90 files", your gfortran is too old. You can update by 
installing the gcc42 fink package, or grab a binary from 
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries.
