Ahmed,
I just looked at your log file/ It shows:
configure:9000: found /usr/bin/f77
^^^^^^^^^^^^
!!!!!!!!!!!!
configure:9010: result: f77
configure:9115: checking how to add a library directory to f77
configure:9120: result: "-L"
configure:9131: checking f77 external naming convention
configure:9147: result: FORTRANDOUBLEUNDERSCORE
configure:9261: checking for FORTRAN optimization flags
configure:9263: result: -O
configure:9275: checking size of FORTRAN INTEGER
configure:9354: gcc -O3 -I. -c conftest.c
^^^
!!!
configure:9361: $? = 0
configure:9371: f77 -O conftestf.f conftest.o -o conftest
ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
As I suspected you are using the Gnu-c compiler "CC=gcc" and the native Fortran
compiler "/usr/bin/f77". This is why "ld" (called from "f77") is having a problem.
Regards
Neil
