Two comments on your error message:  your make file is trying to run libtool with a "-g" option, which libtool does not recognize.  I am not sure what the "-g" option is intended to provide, but you might try editing the make file and eliminating this option on the calling line.  <div>
Next, why are you using Fortran77 rather than gfortran?  Is this a requirement of the arpack-ng package?  If so, it is an indication that it is built on pretty old technology...Some Fortran77 features do not compile well on newer systems.</div>

        Any ideas about resolving this error?</div>

    Two things:<br>
    * install a fortran compiler and restart the configure<br>
    * please report a bug about on the arpack-ng forge. We should stop
    the configure if the fortran compiler is not found.<br>
