Hi Steve,

re: make all VENDOR=-g77

Thanks for reminding me of that.  You were correct in doing the simple
'make all' after modifying the makefile VENDOR= setting.

re: wnvblk_ is contained in Bk11Data.c ...

What does the output of the following look like on your system:

nm Bk11Data.o

Is there an entry point named wnvblk_ in the listing?  If not, is it
possible that there is one named wnvblk__?

OK.  I would love to find the real reason for the link failures on
SuSe 9.0, however.  Does SuSe 9 have a v2.6 kernel by any chance?
If yes, the failure to correctly create libsdi.a matches the experience
I had this morning on a dual Athlon 2400+ system that is running the
brand new Fedora Core 2 release.

Sorry for the problems....
