DG/UX [was: Re: problem building 0.15.7]

This is in answer to more than one message.  I've been on the phone all
morning with people with big problems, & am still somewhat rushed.

Haven't had time yet.  I hope to get to it this afternoon.

I downloaded & configured it.  Running make on it (either original DG make
or GNU make) produces the following:

----snip----snip----snip----snip----snip----snip----snip----snip----snip----
$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/FCIonly/src/gsl/gsl-1.4'
Making all in gsl
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/FCIonly/src/gsl/gsl-1.4/gsl'
rm -f gsl*.h
HEADERLIST="../gsl*.h ../*/gsl*.h"; \
for h in $HEADERLIST; do \
  BASENAME=`basename $h`; \
  test -e $BASENAME || ln -s $h $BASENAME; \
done

at which point I interrupted & it died.

Thanks, though.  Worth a try.
