G4 relocation errors

[Brad Douglas]

Hello,

I have recently installed YDL 4.0 (with updates) and I have had some
interesting issues compiling software.

With libgeotiff, I get a relocation error on 'strcmp' and with OGDI, I
get relocation errors with 'strlen'.

My guess is that this has something to do with 32/64.  GCC and/or glibc?

Here's some output from libgeotiff:

On an unrelated note, I also get the following error in R when trying to
calculate Kappa coefficients.  Either this is related to the above
errors or LAPACK is broken (or perhaps something else I haven't thought
of yet :):

> kappa(h9, exact = TRUE) == max(sv9) / min(sv9)
Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv) : LAPACK routine DGEBRD gave error code -10


Any suggestions for correcting these problems would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks!
