Hello Derek,
Several people have recently reported the same problem. The Fortran
compiler is only needed in order to compile the benchmarking codes in the
benchmarks subdirectory, which compare blitz Array performance to that of
Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 arrays for a variety of problem types. Within the
past week or so, I committed modifications to the blitz cvs repository to
add a --disable-fortran option to the blitz configure script. If you give
this option to configure, it will not try to find a Fortran 77 or Fortran 90
compiler and will not configure the benchmarks subdirectory. You will still
be able to make the blitz library and compile the testsuite and example
codes.
Please follow the instructions for anonymous CVS access to the blitz
repository on the blitz website http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz, and then
run configure with the option
--disable-fortran. Hopefully, this should address your problem.
Regards, Julian C.
