If you don't have a need for old fill values (see the discussion in the
INSTALL file), then I suggest the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute `make clean'.

    3.  Edit the file CUSTOMIZE and remove the setting of OLDFILLVALUES.

    4.  Execute `./configure' and send it to me.

    5.  Execute `make clean'.

They should be ok.

I suspect that the Sun FORTRAN compiler and the GNU C compiler aren't
working well together.  You'll probably have to tell the FORTRAN
compiler to use the GNU C runtime library.  The reference will be
something like `-L/usr/local/gnu/lib -lc' or
`-L/usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sun4-sun-sunos5.4/2.7.0 -lgcc'.  This
should be added to the LIBS macro in the file fortran/Makefile.
