Hi Andreas,

actually I don't see the problem:

Is the order:
 $(LIBS) $(MATHLIB) $(XDRLIB)
 
causing problems? If yes, we have to change 60% (or more) of the Gmakefiles.
If so, please modify SUBMITTING. I have a script here which could do
the change of order.

Generally I was sure that 99% of the Gmakefiles are ok. Obviously I am
wrong?

How does Justin manage if not (he is using Irix, too)?

As Linux doesn't complain if $(XDRLIB) is missing, what is the rule for this
requirement? Then I can check all Gmakefiles...

Little confused (as beta10 is rather identical to CVS at time),

 Markus
