Whoops! Thanks for noticing. I have fixed that for the next release.

Also I will get the latest documentation up on the website today.

No, you don't need a fortran compiler. I see that I phrased that
message badly. I meant that it is required for the configure script to
check for a fortran compiler, even if you don't want to use it. I have
modified that so the next release will be more clear.

Could you send me the output of your configure which has this problem?

Then try again (do a "make distclean" first), and set the FC
environment variable to nothing, or else provide the --disable-f77
option to configure.

This works for me in shell:

make distclean && FC= ./configure && make check\

Or else like this:

make distclean && ./configure --disable-f77 && make check

Thanks!
