It's a routine in the LAPACK library that solves a set of linear equations. I originally had used some portable routines from Numerical Recipes, but the BLAS/LAPACK routines were faster. Unfortunately, it requires that these libraries be installed. You can do one of two things: 1) replace the calls to these libraries with more portable routines, like ludcmp and lubksb from Numerical Recipes (or write your own) or 2) download the LAPACK and BLAS libraries for SGI machines (I believe they're available from ftp.sgi.com - at least they used to be) and install them. (Or, locate the source at your favorite ftp site and build the damn thing yourself..) This has been a continuing thorn in my side - I have since ported the LAPACK routines to three different architectures in order to run this code... You brother picked a fine week to move - spring break. (Naturally). If everything goes as planned my family (myself included) will be spending that week at the Gulf Coast, so I think I'm going to miss you. (Note to Dr. Sinnott: See what you can do if you blow off the March Meeting ?) If our plans change (and they might) I'll let you know - I would look forward to meeting you.
