-L specifies a directory to search for library files (*.a)
-l is supposed to specify a specific library file.

Both are loader options (ld).

It looks like its looking for a library called "f2c" to link against and 
is complaining when it doesn't find one to search.

Is this a C program, or a FORTRAN program converted to C with f2c?

You probably need either the package compat-libf2c-34 or the package fc2
