Hey there! I'm having troubles running the configure script for this new
2.1.40 version, and would appreciate any suggestions! I'm using Mac OS
10.2.2.

That's where I run into trouble. Others have had this error (or one similar
to it) over time, so this will look familiar:
=-=-=-=-=-=
checking for Fortran 77 libraries... -lcrt1.o -lcrtbegin.o
-L/sw/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.1/3.1
-L/sw/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.1/3.1/../../.. -lm -lfrtbegin -lg2c
-lSystem
checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... unknown
configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails
=-=-=-=-=-=
I'd guess C's ability to use Fortran libraries is slightly important. :)
I've read earlier messages from this list on this subject from September,
and I see that the suggestion of setting flibs as "-L/sw/lib/ -lg2c" was put
forth, but those seem to be there already from the output. Nevertheless I
also tried --with-FLIBS="-L/sw/lib/ -lg2c" and --with-flibs="-L/sw/lib/
-lg2c"... It always insists on checking for the libraries itself, which I
find puzzling. Anyway, neither worked. :(
In case it helps, here's how g77 describes itself through "g77 -v".

Reading specs from /sw/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.1/3.1/specs
Configured with: ../gcc3/configure --prefix=/sw --enable-languages=f77

Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1151, based on gcc version 3.1 20020420

My method for installing fink was just "fink install g77"; I've done work
with it otherwise, and it seems to work just fine.
TIA to anyone for any assistance!
