I have run R CMD check on the source package obtained from the link provided
by the OP.
The sources need repair work.

There are unexpected } in the documentation.
There are undocumented functions at user level (because of no NAMESPACE?)
The Fortran source contains trailing spaces on many (maybe all) lines
causing gfortran warnings for  lines truncated at column 72 (harmless but
shouldn't happen)
