Thanks. I started the make and so far no errors. It looks like it will
take a while to compile everything. None of the other many web pages I
looked at showed these steps. (I'm not a programmer by profession, so
when I compile software, especially complex software, I need very
specific instructions to follow!) I will report back when finished.
Hopefully this will be successful.
