Alternatively, you can compile the Fortran source files directly with
f77, provided you have that on your system.  Specifically, on a
Sun4 with Sun Fortran1.2, I compiled everything in the f/ subdirectory
with f77, gpr.c with cc (after commenting out a reference to the "moon"
external variable), and linked everyhting with f77 -lX11.

Seems to work just fine.
