Problem installing Octave on Mac OS 10.2

[Andri Arnaldsson]

Hello,

I'm having problem installing Octave on Mac OS 10.2.
I run the conigure script and get the error message
' checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... unknown '

I've included all the output just for fun.

Is there anybody out there that knows something about this stuff. I  
haven't
much experience myself.

thanks alot
