It appears you don't have a Fortran compiler or don't want the Fortran
interface.  Is this true?

It appears that your C compiler is non-standard.  As the INSTALL
document states, you must use a Standard C compiler.

I suggest trying the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make clean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Set the following environment variables to their indicated
        values (I'm assuming you're on an HP-UX system -- if not, then
        let me know):

        CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -D_HPUX_SOURCE'
        CC=c89
        CFLAGS=-O
        FC=fort77       # This will cause the Fortran interface to be built.
                        # If you don't have the "fort77" compiler, then
                        # set FC to the empty string.
        FFLAGS='-O -w'
        CXX=CC          # Set this only if you have the "CC" compiler.

    5.  Execute the configure script.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.

    6.  Execute the command 'make'.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.

    7.  Execute the command 'make test'.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If an error occurs, then stop and send me the file.
