What is the error message?  They work for me.

Are those the libraries for g77? They look like those for f77 to me.
Do you have the current version (2.0) of leaps?  Does by any chance 
leaps/src/Makefile exist?  If so try deleting it.

AFAIK g77 on Solaris should have -lg2c -lm in FLIBS: that is what 
my installation (gcc-2.95 on Solaris 2.6) gives. If you use f2c, you
need -lf2c -lm.

Um. That is obselete, and its code is in package modreg, which must
have been installed at the original build. So that suggests your setup
is OK, but that a Makefile is wrong.


If you really get stuck I can let you have a pre-compiled version for leaps.
