Hm. We've had two reports from people compiling 0.61.3 on IRIX and all
they had to say was that the IRIX cc didn't like a string that had
been split over two lines...

One thing to notice is that the last step of "make install" builds the
base library by running make in src/library/base/. Apparently that
isn't happening for you. So perhaps one makefile didn't get edited
quite right.

0.61.3 has a couple of small makefile changes which might help you. It
sets the SHELL variable, so that you won't be trying to execute Bourne
shell syntax with csh and it uses $(MAKE) throughout, which avoids
problems when make is called something else (such as, gmake). Perhaps
you should try the new version.
