I managed to build it OK on the same configuration, but I FTP'ed it
from Stanford (supposedly the same version).  It may be trying to
build things out of order -- I noticed some strangeness along those
lines.  The version I took from Stanford already had binaries
installed in the right place in the hierarchy.  Those relative
pathnames should be fine, though.

All the problems I had were related to trying to use the OASYS version
of C++ to build it.  And those turned out to be mostly very minor
things, like having to rename the files from .c to .cxx, and changing
some of the include statements.
