Let's go back to check how mesa was installed.
Did you do an svn checkout?  That's currently the best way to go.
The current release version is given in the "getting started" webpage  
as 743, so you'd do

svn co -r 743 https://mesa.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mesa/trunk mesa

After the svn checkout finishes downloading lots of files, open

mesa/utils/makefile_header

and check that it's setup to use the fortran compiler you use.

Once you've specified the compiler, the build is done by:

cd mesa
./install

This script goes through building and testing all of the required  
packages, finishing with mesa/star.  You shouldn't have to do ./mk  
unless you've edited some source file.

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers,
Bill
