Thanks, for code-compilation problems we need that level of detail.

Your problem appears to be that you are mixing gcc4 and g77 (not 
recommended), and g77 does use extra underscores, I believe.  I have

/* Define if your Fortran compiler appends an extra_underscore to external
    names containing an underscore. */
/* #undef HAVE_F77_EXTRA_UNDERSCORE */

/* Define if your Fortran compiler appends an underscore to external 
names. */
#define HAVE_F77_UNDERSCORE 1

in src/include/config.h.  If the first of these is defined, please try 
commenting it out and rebuilding R.

I've found an old Solaris box that still has g77 on, and I can reproduce 
this there.  I will patch the sources after further testing, but altering 
src/include/config.h worked for me.

I was certainly not expecting Ubuntu 7.07 to be using g77, so we need 
the same details from Thomas Petzoldt.
