Hi Daniel,

We've seen this error before, and it is solved by adding -lg2c on
the compile line for ictrans.  However, you already have this
on the compile line.

If you do an nm on this library, does it have this symbol?:

    cd /wherever/libg2c.a/is/libg2c.a | grep s_copy

For example, when I type:

   % nm /usr/lib/libg2c.a | grep s_copy

I get the following output:

   s_copy.o:
   0000000000000000 T s_copy
                    U s_copy
                    U s_copy
                    ...

The "T s_copy" means it's defined in the library.

Do you possibly have a mix of compilers on your system, or was
this library not installed in the usual fashion by any chance?
