I was able to get this working.  The trick was to put -lbsd at the end
of the compile line.  I don't think that this is mentioned in the manual
but it seems to be necessary.  

A problem I have been having is that I can't use -lgl and -lcps at
the same time -- I get several pages of error messages if I try.
I just called the hotline today so I may get an answer soon.

Hope this helps!
