Oh dear,
I'm afraid this is rather stupid. But where does one get hold of version 0.88.1
for SGI? I browsed through the mailing list archive and did an archie search.
All I've found are Linux versions of 0.88.1. The official ftp site
bragg.phys.uwm.edu holds the 0.88 version, although TC announced uploading
0.88.1 sometime in March. Is there a serious bug or something? The right lib
name should read libforms.so/a.0.88.1, shouldn't it?
