[Pw_forum] Problem on compiling pwscf

Dear Lorenzo Paulatto
This is Jay Lee. The affiliate is Cug.

I downloaded the tar file which contains the make.sys, however, I cannot
succeed compiling it anyway. Then I tried to type ./configure to see what's
wrong with my system, as reported the fortran 77 seems to be unavailable. I
probably found where the bug is, because I updated the gcc to 4.4.1 version
and the glibc to 2.9.3 version. The config.log reported that option
'-cxxlib-gcc' not supported with the current installed GCC. I guess this is
the problem that caused the error above.

By the way, I want to learn more about how to switch the options in
make.sys, but I cannot find any document that can help. Is there some?

The system is FC10, the kernel is 2.6.27.35-170.2.94.fc10.x86_64
