Has anyone installed Rlab on their Linux system?  
The following is a copy of some e-mail I sent to Ian Searle,
the guy who wrote the code, but he directed me to get
an executable from the sunsite archives.  I would really
like to know why this thing won't compile on my system. 
Any suggestions?

<The undefined references you are getting are from not having all of
<Rlab's object files in the linker statement, or some other problem with
<similar effect. do_eval, eval_string, etc. are all symbols in Rlab code.
<At this point, I suggest you start over with a `make clean', the
<`configure ...' and finally `make'
<
<What version of Linux are you using ? Please specify kernel version, and
<libc version. Also, what version of Rlab are you trying to build ?
