First, make sure that you have the most recent tarball. It should be
v4.2.2. If you downloaded it more than a month ago you may have 4.2.1.
If you have not done so already, check out the messages in the archive of
this mailing list on this subject, particularly the ones with the subject
Linux Slackware 4.0 (They apply to linuces other than Schlockware.)
Try using another compiler -- fort77 is known to work and you can link the
results with most fortran 90 compilers. However there are often issues
compiling legacy Fortran 77 code with a modern Fortran 9x compiler and
further issues linking C code with a fortran compiler. I don't use pgf90
so I can't comment on the issues associated with your particular compiler.
If it still doesn't work, post again, but make sure you say at what point
the build fails and what the error message is. That way someone (probably
Mary Haley :-) ) will have more chance of pinpointing your problem.

No knowledge of HP-UX but for Debian Linux 2.2 I have:

These are _so_ dull that I have a suspicion that your problems lie
elsewhere. In particular, CtoFLibraries may have to be tweaked unless you
are running _exactly_ the same release of Red Hat Linux as the Linux guru
at NCAR _and_ you are using g77 as your fortran compiler.
If you _do_ get it to work, do please post to tell us what you did.
All the best
