Thanks.  That makes diagnosis much easier.

Simple problem. The C compiler has to be told what argument-passing
conventions to use when C functions are called by Fortran routines. This
is done by defining a particular C macro in the CPPFLAGS environment
variable prior to executing the configure script. The file INSTALL.html
contains examples of this.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5, described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFLAGS contains the 
        string "-DpgiFortran", e.g.,

            export CPPFLAGS=-DpgiFortran

        or

            setenv CPPFLAGS -DpgiFortran

        depending on your user-shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9, described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

Please let me know if this helps.
