That wouldn't help - the Pop-11 code doesn't call the missing symbol
directly, but rather calls a Lapack routine which in turn calls
something from (probably) the standard Fortran run-time library. I think
the best strategy is to use g77 with a verbose option switched on to
find out what libraries it links. Aaron - I'll try to set this up on
Solaris later and pass it on to you so you try it on Linux.
