Robert,

Under Linux, sometimes the ranlib does not get run by make.
This does not always happen.....

All you need to do for the error message below is:

ranlib $GEMLIB/device.a

You probably want to make sure that a non-execuatble garp was left in the
$GARPHOME/linux directory (remove it it it is there), then

Then resume the build with "make all"
