configure: error: Fortran could not compile .f90 files

Hi,

I'm trying to install hdf5-1.8.1 under Linux. I have Absoft 64-bit Fortran 95 10.1.2 installed and working. When I run configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-fortran, however, I get:

...
checking if Fortran interface enabled... yes
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran compiler... no
checking whether g95 accepts -g... no
checking for Fortran flag to compile .f90 files... unknown
configure: error: Fortran could not compile .f90 files

According to the INSTALL docs, configure should find f90, which is the Absoft compiler on my system. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Greg

Thank you!

You have to
export F9X=something (I have ifort for intel fortran compiler)
also
CC= (like gcc or icc)
and
CXX (if you have c++ enabled, like icpc or g++)
