PGPLOT - no success under LinuxPPC

I managed to install McSTAS-1.1 under LinuxPPC on a Macintosh PowerBook G3,
as well as the installation on MacOS 8.6 using CodeWarrior. However, use of
gscan, mcplot and mcdisplay only is possible under Linux/Unix ... and there
there I encountered one problem (up to now ...) during the installation of
PGPERL. I post here the hopefully helpfull reply to my Linux-specific
problem.

=head1 NAME

ExtUtils::F77 - Simple interface to F77 libs

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module tries to figure out how to link C programs with
Fortran subroutines on your system. Basically one must add a list
of Fortran runtime libraries. The problem is their location
and name varies with each OS/compiler combination!

This module tries to implement a simple
'rule-of-thumb' database for various flavours of UNIX systems.
A simple self-documenting Perl database of knowledge/code
for figuring out how to link for various combinations of OS and
compiler is embedded in the modules Perl code. Please help
save the world by sending database entries for
your system to kgb at aaoepp.aao.gov.au

The library list which the module returns
can be explicitly overridden by setting the environment
variable F77LIBS, e.g.

  % setenv F77LIBS "-lfoo -lbar"
  % perl Makefile.PL
  ...

$VERSION = "1.11";

# Database starts here. Basically we have a large hash specifying
# entries for each os/compiler combination. Entries can be code refs
# in which case they are executed and the returned value used. This
# allows us to be quite smart.

# Hash key convention is uppercase first letter of
# hash keys. First key is usually the name of the architecture as
# returned by Config (modulo ucfirst()).

# From: Ovidiu Toader <ovi at physics.utoronto.ca>
# For an SGI running IRIX 6.4 or higher (probably lower than 6.4 also)
# there is a new abi, -64, which produces 64 bit executables. This is no
# longer an experimental feature and I am using it exclusively without any
# problem. The code below is what I use instead of original IRIX section
# in the ExtUtils::F77 package. It adds the -64 flag and it is supposed to
# provide the same functionality as the old code for a non -64 abi.

=head1 METHODS

The following methods are provided:

=over 4

=item * B<runtime>

Returns a list of F77 runtime libraries.

  $fortranlibs = ExtUtils::F77->runtime;

=item * B<runtimeok>

Returns TRUE only if runtime libraries have been found successfully.

=item * B<trail_>

Returns true if F77 names have trailing underscores.

=item * B<compiler>

Returns command to execute the compiler (e.g. 'f77').

=item * B<cflags>

Returns compiler flags.

=item * B<testcompiler>

Test to see if compiler actually works.

=back

More methods  will probably be added in the future.
