After being told that all these functions were in the blas.f file in
src/appl, I modified Makefile.in by adding:

<tab>blas.f<space>\

immediately after the SOURCES_F = \ line.

This solved that compilation problem.

I've now successfully compiled version 0.90.0, tested and installed it.
Unfortunately, I haven't the time at the moment to further investigate the
compilation and execution failures of the latest releases.

Cheers,
Peter
