List,
I just wanted to let everyone know, with Unidata's help, I solved the
problem. I had available to me two versions of the "binutils" package: the
traditional binutils package and the newer binutils-gold package. I had
both of them installed. Some quick Google searches suggested that the
binutils-gold package is buggy. Whether that was the case or the two
packages were just interfering with each other, once I deleted the
binutils-gold package, everything worked just fine.
Steve and Tom of Unidata were of great help to me in our various email
exchanges and I probably wouldn't have figured this out without their help.
