I suspect what you did about blas is the problem.  On my 10.20 system
I run

	env MAKE=gmake .configure

and get g77/fort77 and no blas.  We have blas but in a nonstandard
place.  (I need gmake to get make check to sort of work; otherwise
make will do.)  After that, `make' and then library(modreg) works.

You might try `configure --with-blas=no' if configure is picking up
blas by default for you (I think this is the right way to tell it not
to--if not, I'm sure someone who knows more about the configure script
will set me straight).

One other hack that may be useful on HPUX: If you add BIND_VERBOSE to
the flags for shl_load then shl_load may print something useful, like
the name of the symbol it can't find.  The call to shl_load is in
src/unix/hpdlfcn.c, but even though this is a .c file it is used by
inclusion in src/unix/dynload.c, so that is the file that needs to
be recompiled.

Hope that helps
