NOTES

(1) Perl version 5 must be installed in order to build
    the documentation.  (The SGI supplied Perl is version 4).

(2) The Makefile in src/main must be edited manually after
    configuration and the reference to the library "-lSM"
    removed.

(3)     A number of  users appear to have installation problems with f77,
    requiring the f77 library directory to be explicitly 
    specified in -L and -R 

(4)     (Greg Snow <snow@biostat.washington.edu>)

    It needed the -mieee-with-inexact flag (the default config used 
    -ieee_with_inexact, note the m and the switch from _ to -)

    I also changed a line in plot.c, the line was around 411 (I
    added some printf's for debugging so this is probably not the
    original line number)

    the original line was:
    if (FINITE(asp) && asp > 0 ) {
    my new line is:
    if (FINITE(asp) && asp > 0 && asp != NA_REAL ) {

    Apparently my setup thinks that NA_REAL is positive finite so
    the change was neccesary.
