Hmm. With a lot of hacking of the Makefile, I was able to compile the CMSP linux (12/99) package on my mac. I use the fink from dx, so there are minor variations.
DX_ARCH= macos LIBDXL=$(BASE)/lib_$(DX_ARCH)/libDXL.a CFLAGS = -O -D$(DX_ARCH) -I$(BASE)/include -I/sw/include LIBS = -L$(BASE)/lib_macos -L/sw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib \ /usr/lib/bundle1.o -lpng -ltiff -lGL -lgcc -lX11 -ldl $(LIBDXL) #I'm missing -lnsl here, don't know if it's needed LDFLAGS = -read_only_relocs suppress -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -e _DXEntry Just a guess, but you appear to be missing $(LIBDXL). Jeremy PS. If it turns out that I've ported a obsolete version of the Chemistry modules, please provide me with a pointer to a more recent version. ----- In Response To ----- The short path here is because I am invoking dx from the command line, with: dx -mdf ./FancyRibbon.mdf I did also check to see if changing the LOADABLE line in the mdf file to the complete full path would make a difference. I get the same error message just with the complete path now instead of just a relative path, i.e. that DX cannot find the entry point DXEntry in the module. Still think that another linker switch is needed to make DXEntry the actual entry point for the module. Thanks, Norm >I would say that the biggest problem probably lies within your mdf >file.
