I'm afraid that your email didn't have any attachments.

Given that you don't have any strong preferences, I'd be inclined to try
the following:

    1.  Go into the "fortran/" subdirectory.

    2.  Remove the patch to the file "cfortran.h" that was in a
        previous email of mine.  This will cause the "cfortran.h" file
        to use uppercase names for the Fortran global symbols (its
        previous behavior) and require that the option "-YEXT_NAMES=UCS"
        be used.

    3.  Go up one directory to the top-level source-directory.

    4.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.  In particular, be sure to execute the "make
        distclean" command.

    5.  Ensure that both the FFLAGS and F90FLAGS environment variables
        contain the following:

            -YEXT_NAMES=UCS -YEXT_SFX=_ -YCFRL=1

    6.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

Please let me know what you discover.

Steve Emmerson
