libbind.a Make error

[David Spigelman]

Mike:

I had a similar problem when I didn't follow the install directions quite
right. You need to make it as follows:

1. From the ./src directory (everything takes place from src), make
stdlinks
2. make clean
3. make depend
4. make all
5. rm .settings
6. make install

I think the key that I missed was the make all. For some reason I missed it
in the docs. That's what actually makes libbind.a and the install portion
can't continue without it. I don't know if this has anything to do with your
problem, but if it does, I'm glad I could help. Good luck!
