compiling 3.8.0 on OSX

[Stuart Edwards]

Hi -

I'm trying to compile the new 3.8.0 on OS X 10.6.8.  During configure the 
process terminates with the error:

checking whether g77 generates correct size integers... no
configure: error: your Fortran compiler must have an option to make integers 
the same size as octave_idx_type (int).  See the file INSTALL for more 
information.

I get the same error using gfortran in place of g77.

I don't see anything in the INSTALL file relating to this - the README does 
inform that a Fortran 77 compiler is needed - but nothing further.

Is there a different fortran compiler that I should be using?

Any assistance appreciated.

Best

Stu
