Don't do that!  You shouldn't edit any file; the configure script will
determine the correct format for the makefiles based on your system and
the value of certain environment variables.

Do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Undo your edits.

    3.  Execute the command "make distclean".  Don't worry if it fails
        or even fails to execute.

    4.  Remove the file config.cache if it exists.

    5.  Set your environment variables according to the instuctions in
        the INSTALL file.

    6.  Set th environment variable FC to the empty string.

    7.  Execute the configure script.  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "configure.log".  If an error
        message occurs in the output, then stop and send me the file
        "configure.log" and the file "config.log".

    8.  Execute the command "make".  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "make.log".  If an error message
        occurs in the output, then stop and send me the file "make.log".

    9.  Execute the command "make test".  Redirect standard output and
        standard error to the file "test.log".  If an error message
        occurs in the output, then stop and send me the file "test.log".

    10. Execute the command "make install".  Redirect standard output
        and standard error to the file "install.log".  If an error
        message occurs in the output, then stop and send me the file
        "install.log".

    11. Execute the command "make clean".

Incidentally, what is the output from the command "uname -a"?

It means that the configure script was unable to find the indicated
entity.

It means that a simple compile failed.  The reason will be in the file
"config.log".

Try the above steps.  Let me know what you encounter.
