Thanks for replying Matthias.

Thanks a lot.  After installing that package this command worked:

./configure --with-x --with-cxxflags='-DNEED_FDSTREAM 
-DDONT_HAVE_STRSTREAM_H -DTHERMAL -ffriend-injection' 
--with-blas='-L/usr/pkg/lib -lblas -L/usr/pkg/gcc3/lib -lg2c'



and thanks Matthias.

Unfortunately, that didn't work.  I don't know the details of OOF's 
configure program but this command failed:

./configure --with-x --with-cxxflags='-DNEED_FDSTREAM 
-DDONT_HAVE_STRSTREAM_H -DTHERMAL -ffriend-injection' 
--with-blas='-L/usr/pkg/lib -lblas -lF77'

The last few lines of its output were:

checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
configure: WARNING: This is a hack to see if blas will link
checking for dgemv_ in -lm... no
configure: error: *** Supplied blas doesn't link ***

I tried reversing the order of -lF77 and -lblas in that command since 
I've read it can make a difference, but not this time.
