Ross,

On the newer SGI machines, there are three ways you can build
libraries, using one of the options "-32", "-n32", and "-64".
The unfortunate thing is that these options cannot be mixed and
matched, so if you are trying to build a program using the "-n32"
option, you must be linking with libraries that were built with
"-n32".

The SGI libraries on the NCAR Graphics 4.0.1 CD were built on an older
SGI that only understands the "-32" option, so you either need to use
the "-32" option in your compile line, or else ask your NCAR Graphics
site installer to contact NCAR about getting a version of NCAR
Graphics that was built with the "-n32" option, since this is what it
looks like the default is on your system.
