Yes, sorry. I should have mentioned where it was.

I see that Tyler Eaves has already pointed out that you don't have to
do that by hand.

There isn't much building required. You should be able to just run it.

python src/pysol.py

works on my system. I think that the Makefile is just there to
automate installation and a few other minor things and installation is
optional.

<grin> Python has a few conveniences that even Fortran doesn't. And I
can tell you from person experience that it's more fun than IBM 360
assembly language.
