What is happening is that configure is trying to compile and run a fortran test with gfortran and it is failing because it can't find libgfortran.so.3. Here's the relevant lines from config.log:
----- configure:28735: gfortran -o conftest conftest.f >&5 configure:28735: $? = 0 configure:28735: ./conftest ./conftest: error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory configure:28735: $? = 127 configure: program exited with status 127 configure: failed program was: | program main | | end configure:28751: result: no configure:28765: error: Could not run a simple Fortran 77 program. Aborting. ----- Perhaps you need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to where libgfortran is located? In short: when you can run gfortran manually to compile/run trivial fortran programs, then configure will succeed.
