Thanks Glen,
I have been able to successfully compile small programs where I have
explicitly specified paths for linking, etc. My problem has been using
Linux's gmake to compile larger projects. Between what you just specified and
a little sleuthing on Linux environment variables, I've been able to jury rig
a login that sets up everything to point to /compat/linux...
Thanks again, as you gave me the 'missing link'.
