Dave,

When an archive (library), such as libbf_gsl.a, is built giving it an
index helps the linker find the needed object modules.  On my linux box,
"apropos ranlib" says "ranlib (1)  - generate index to archive".  I
mentioned it 'cause it _might_ be part of the problem.

Matthias,

Below are some bits from the src/Makefile on DGUX and linux.  Is the
RANLIB definition acceptable?

DGUX:

    RANLIB = :

linux:

    RANLIB = ranlib

BOTH:

    libbf_gsl.a: $(libbf_gsl_a_OBJECTS) $(libbf_gsl_a_DEPENDENCIES) 
	-rm -f libbf_gsl.a
	$(libbf_gsl_a_AR) libbf_gsl.a $(libbf_gsl_a_OBJECTS)
$(libbf_gsl_a_LIBADD)
	$(RANLIB) libbf_gsl.a
