^^^ did you install Apple Devel tools, g77 and other things necessary 
for source installation? It doesn't seem so (see Stefano's FAQ). The 
above stat errors are suspicious, too, but devel-tools are the 
necessary anyway.

Other than that, it works for me. As always there's a pitfall on some 
systems (depends on your setup) - if you get undefined restFP and 
saveFP the edit the Makefile and add -L/usr/lib -lgcc before $(FLIBS)
