Thanks, Steve.  After the installs, and resolving the "ld: library not
found for -lc" error, I got the code to compile.  After I get a data
set together, I'll know if it runs.

Maybe this is a bit premature, but the code might be more robust (I'm
not the developer/mathematician) using 256-bit floats.  Are such things
available?

Thanks.
