Thanks Matthias.

How did you determine that?  I thought maybe you used ldd or nm, but 
they didn't show that information when I tried them.

Unfortunately that made no obvious difference:

% ../configure --with-x --with-cxxflags='-DNEED_FDSTREAM 
-DDONT_HAVE_STRSTREAM_H -DTHERMAL -ffriend-injection' 
--with-blas='-L/usr/pkg/lib -lblas -lF77 -lI77 -lm'

%

(The -ffriend-injection argument proved to be necessary to avoid a 
compile time error, something which became apparent after my last 
posting.)

I wonder if the section of config.log I've appended to the end of 
this message means anything to you?
