I hope the peculiarities of your system won't be a problem.  We have a
DEC Alpha and we have Red Hat Linux, but we don't have an Alpha running
Linux.

Apparently, you didn't define the CC environment variable to be
"/usr/bin/cc".  Is this true?

Apparently, you didn't define the CXX environment variable to be
"/usr/bin/c++".  Is this true?

It appears that the mf77(1) "byte" integer type is not equivalent to a C
"signed char", "short", "int", or "long".  Would you please determine
what C type it is equivalent to?

The above SIGFPE shouldn't happen because the file nc_test/nc_test.c
installs a SIGFPE signal handler which ignores SIGFPE.  Would you please
look near the top of the main() routine in nc_test/nc_test.c and verify
that this is the case?
