not linking

[Jack Riegel]

I created  a 2-line fortran program and a simple make file (below) to 
illustrate the problem that I am having.  When I run make, I get the following 
output.   Note that if I simply copy and paste the final gfortran line (the 
linking step) into my terminal window, the executable builds.  It is as if  
make is overriding the normal library location.  I have not tried specifying a 
library location, but it does not seem that it should be necessary.

Thanks
