20000627: 20000626: joining unidata, COMET case studies

Charles,

The problem you are having seems to be a problem with some versions of OSF where
the caching of disk writes does not flush the library archive additions. This 
leads to
the unresolved symbols.

Typically, all you have to do to sucessfully complete the build is:

cd $NAWIPS
make clean
make all

The make clean above will clear out left over links, then make all will 
redecend the 
tree and should find any routines that are not already in your library and 
compile
those and add them. You may find that you have to do this several times.

The general proceedure in building gempak is that "make" decends into
many subdirectories, compiles the code, then adds the objects to the
library with the "ar" command. The caching problem occurs when ar is run to
add additional members to the library while the system has not flushed out the
previous writes. This should not happen- but it seems that DEC is trying to
look faster than it should be.
