    You are right. My mistake, shouldn't have used "--with-f77".

But just specifying F77=ifort gives the following:
"checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... unknown
configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails"

Any work around for this? (hence copying to the help list)
