    Look in /usr/local/lib for a file named frtbegin.  If it is not
there I suspect a problem installing 3.4.4.  If it is, check your
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  You may have to set it to include /usr/local/lib
explicitly.

This is an entirely different failure than your previous one with XAS.

You might consider trying the binary install - the Intel compiler
produces load modules that are 35% faster on our Pentium IVs than the
ones produced by the GNU compiler.
