Americans?)

The configure script will reject the system's XDR implementation if it's
broken or if the compiler fails to build the test program.  So, it might
have been the compiler that cause the rejection.

Hmm.  I've never seen the above messages before.  Seems odd in light of
the fact that the compilations went OK.  The only thing I can think of
is that the GNU C compiler might not supply the system's linker (ld(1))
with everything the linker expects.

The above shows that the FORTRAN interface works OK.

Like I said, I've never seen those messages before.  Since the `make
test' in the `libsrc/' subdirectory also went OK, I'd ignore the
messages.

My pleasure.

Please let me know if you have any further problems.
