Dear Jennifer,

I don´t know how to fix it... :-( mmmh

ga-> q config

Here the configuration to compile for power pc that I used ->
             grep Linux .tmpfile ; \
          if [ $$? = 0 ]; then echo "Compiling for PowerPC" 
;               \
                  ( $(CD) src ; $(MAKE) all                               \
                  "RM             = $(RM)"        "RM_LIST        =
$(RM_LIST)"   \
                  "LN             = $(LN)"        "MACH           =
IBM"          \
                  "MAKE           = $(MAKE)"      "CPP            =

                  "CPPFLAGS       = -I. -C -P -DIBM -DBIT32
-traditional"        \
                  "FC             = xlf90 "  "FCFLAGS        = -qfree=f90
-qlanglvl=90pure -I../util"   \
                  "LDOPTIONS      = "             "CFLAGS         = -I.
