Hi Chris,

It sounds like the "Iftran" processor didn't get built. This processor
is needed in order to generate some of the Fortran code in NCAR Graphics,
and I believe all of the symbols you listed above are from Fortran
codes that should have been created by the Iftran processor.

If you can email me your "make-output" file, we should be able to
determine if the problem was with Iftran. In fact, as I type this, I
recall that some changes were made to the code for Iftran, but these
changes have not been made public yet. Again, your make-output file
should give us a clue if these latest changes will fix your problem.

Cheers,

--Mary
