Probably correct as is: the *only* fortran compilers known to work with mopac
are g77 and gfortran. If neither are present, the install process should just
skip compiling mopac. Of course, it is possible that SGI's f90 would also
work, but I don't know that anyone has tested this.
I keep hoping we can deep-six the mopac code soon...Ross??

Will fix, but this and other parts of AmberTools (sleap & gleap) really
require the GNU versions of make and lex. I'm wondering if it is just not
simpler to say: "you have to install GNU tools to use this software": does
the number of IRIX and Solaris users justify the efforts to keep our code
compatiable with "legacy" Unix?

This is actually odd, since we do test nab installation on an (old?) sgi_mips
IRIX machine. But it could be that I had installed flex (=GNU lex) on that
machine, which I no longer have access to.

These are not compiler issues, I think. Rather, it's the old Unix versions of
make and lex that are only partially compatible with flex that are at fault
here.
