Just FYI, a better way to ignore the Fortran interface is to set
the FC environment variable to the empty string prior to executing
the configure script.  This will cause the configure script and the
subsequent makefiles to ignore all the Fortran stuff.

'configure' then seems to work although I

I suspect that your operating system is HP-UX 10.  This problem has an
easy solution.  Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

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

    4.  Set your environment variables as before.  Additionally:
    
        If you don't want the Fortran interface, then set the
        environment variable FC to the empty string; otherwise, you
        could use the follwing settings to build the Fortran interface:

            FC=fort77           # assuming you have it
            FFLAGS='-O3 -w'

        Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the
        string "-D_HPUX_SOURCE".  This is the key that we just dicovered
        for HP-UX 10 systems.

    5.  (Re)execute the configure script.
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If this step fails, then stop and send me the file and the file
        "config.log".

    6.  Execute the command "make".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If this step fails, then stop and send me the file.

    7.  Execute the command "make test".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If this step fails, then stop and send me the file.

    8.  Execute the command "make install".
        Redirect standard output and standard error to a file.
        If this step fails, then stop and send me the file.

    9.  Execute the command "make clean".

Please let me know if this helps so that I can close your trouble
ticket.
