Hello,

I seem to have received the following response from Amber admin on Friday:

(With reference to the "ar rvsys.a..." problem.)

Oh, but I *am* using gmake, and was wondering why it wasn't being used!

Turns out that the AMBER Makefiles contain literal references to "make"
instead of $(MAKE), so unless you're prepared to remove the OS vendor's
make from your system and rename GNU make to "make", which would be a
Very Bad Move, there's nothing you can do.

The correct solution is to change all the Makefiles to call $(MAKE)
instead of "make" literally, and to set MAKE initially if it is not
set.

Also, GNU make or not, the Atoms.h problem remains the same.
