I'm trying to compile lam from scratch on OS X (10.3.8) because I need
support for fortran compilers. I've installed the gnu compilers
collection v. 3.4.3, including g77. I compiled lam 7.1.1 and the
compile seemed entirely normal. I was able to lamboot several machines
and proceeded to work through the lamtest suite. I immediately ran into
difficulties during the configure process:

This does not appear to be the FLIBS problem described in the manual,
but I could be wrong. It looked similar (at least in symptom) to a
problem experienced by another user with IBM's XLF compilers, and I've
tried recompiling lam using --with-memory-manager=none and I've also
tried compiling the most recent beta version. The problem was
persistent.

I have attached the config.log from both the lam installation and the
failed lamtests configure command; I would be happy to provide
additional information. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate
the help.
