Hi Margaret,

I'm attaching a text file below with the suggestions I had made last
week. What were the results? Let me know if I can help further.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Margaret,
You are using -mips2 flag and default with that is -o32. It looks like
you have an n32 object in ../lib named malloc.o. Could it have been
there from a previous compilation? You need to remove it and recompile
this file the same way the other objects were compiled. The makefile
output indicates that you have been able to compile sander, sander.MC
and sander.LES. The problem you are having is with sander_classic. Which
version of sander were you interested in? Finally, on a R4k machine, you
should be using -mips3 which will create n32 objects. You can do that by
changing the following lines in the MACHINE file from:
 # R4k machines
if ( $WHICHIP >= 17 ) then
   set MIPSFLAG = '-mips2'
endif
to:
# R4k machines
if ( $WHICHIP >= 17 ) then
   set MIPSFLAG = '-mips3'
endif
Before you recompile, make sure you have removed all the o32 objects. 
Let me know if you have more problems or questions,
Nathalie
