[Pw_forum] Compiling ESPRESSO 3.2.3 on Mac OS X PPC

[jtmullen at ncsu.edu]

Greetings,

I am attempting to compile ESPRESSO 3.2.3 on my Mac in debug mode so that
I can step through the code to become familiar with various function
implementations. I cannot get it to compile, though I can compile my own
fortran programs with the compiler configuration. I confess that though I
can follow MAKE somewhat, I am very unfamiliar with autoconf, so I hope
that the solution is obvious and I am just missing it.

Details of machine configuration
Max OS X 10.4 PPC
GCC 4.0 installed via Fink using gfortran installed at /sw/bin/gfortran

Command line configure
./configure F90=/sw/bin/gfortran F77=/sw/bin/gfortran
       (I tried only setting F90, but this caused more problems)

--------------------------------------------------------

The config.log file is huge, but I can certainly post some of it if
someone can make use of it. Has someone compiled the code on a machine
configured like mine and, if so, can you point me in the right direction ?
