I tried posting this immediately after subscribing two days
ago, but didn't see it show up on the list. My apologies if
I missed something.  As an update, I was able to manually
compile and link (yes, I am a dinosaur) SWISH-E on this
problem system, so it is functioning and I am pleased at
that.  However, for the future, I would like to understand
and fix the make problem.  TIA,  Rich
