Quoting the last few lines of config.log is not useful - you need to 
post the whole of it (or let it be downloaded from somewhere), since the
error is a good deal further up.

The error and fix is as it says - it seems that your fortran compiler
(blrts_xlf) disagree with your C compiler (blrts_xlf) about how big
is int and double (On most usual boxes these days int is 32-bit and
double is 64-bit), and you will need to read your compiler's manual
about what size are used for int and double accordingly; this is highly
compiler-specific so you'll have to read it up yourself.
