Hi Luis,

    I am sorry for the trouble. For the building part, which gfortran
are you using ? I suspect you are using a very recent gfortran, which is
not stable (you see a compiler crash, which is not a good sign :) ).

Please use this one:

In particular, do not use this one for the time being:
