This should be sufficient to avoid the collision that can occur between the
g77 version of the libgcc.a file and the Apple-supplied file of the same name.

Interesting.  Do you know where libgcc is located?  If yes, you
could try linking 'convdlm' by hand to see what happens:

gcc -O -o convdlm convdlmc.o convdlmf.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L<location of 
libgcc.so> -lm

The ETA for our MacOS-X machine getting patched to the point of having
a viable development environment and being allowed on our network (security)
is uncertain due to a number of critical things needing attention.  Given
this, I wonder if it would be possible for me to get SSH access to
your machine (as user 'mcidas') so I can take a look.  If this is not
possible, I will be forced to wait until our system is back online before
I can provide any useful help.  I apologize for this state of affairs!


Cheers,

Tom
