Compiling on Mac OS X Lion fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. checkout revision 48
2. copy Makefile.example to Makefile
3. compile with "make -j"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected a successful compilation. Instead I get a failed compilation with 
non-zero return code

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using a clean checkout of revision 48 of mitlm. I'm compiling it on Mac OS 
X Lion (10.7).

Please provide any additional information below.

I manage to solve the problem by performing the following steps:

1. Install Fortran with Homebrew: "brew install gfortran"
2. Add this setting to your Makefile after the FFLAGS line: "FC = gfortran"
3. Change the LDFLAGS line to "LDFLAGS  = -L. -lgfortran -lmitlm"
4. Create a symlink to your libgfortran library: "ln -s 
/usr/local/Cellar/gfortran/4.2.4-5666.3/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin11/4.2.1/x86_64
/libgfortran.a"

Once I did this, I was able to compile mitlm with no errors.

I haven't yet used the binaries for anything, but I noticed that running the 
estimate-ngram command without any input produces a segmentation fault:

$ ./interpolate-ngram 
Interpolating component LMs...
Tying parameters across n-gram order...
Segmentation fault: 11

Since I've never used it before, I'm not sure if this just me.
