Right, thanks.  But it still doesn't quite work.  Consider a makefile with

lib: seglib.so

seglib.so: Text2.f90
	f2py -c --fcompiler=gnu95 -m seglib Text2.f90

pyf: Text2.f90
	f2py -h seglib.pyf -m seglib Text2.f90 --overwrite-signature

lib2: Text2.f90
	f2py -c --fcompiler=gnu95 seglib.pyf

If I type

make lib

it works fine, but

make pyf
make lib2

bombs out with:

Is it  obvious what I'm doing wrong?

The funny thing is that 'gfortran' does work for the plain call

f2py -c --fcompiler=gfortran Text2.f90

just fine, but not for the other forms.  So it's easy to be misled
into thinking that it might actually be the correct call.  Clever
trick to trap the unwary :)
