The message means that objectfile didn't find the array_mxmn object file
where it expected to: in DDD/bin/XXX/array_mxmn.ZZ where DDD is the
directory containing array_mxmn.p, XXX specifies the machine and
operating system according to the rules in LIB OBJECTFILE, and ZZ is .o
or .so. Sorry the message wasn't more explicit.
This might be because the .so files need to be moved to the appropriate
directory after compilation, or it might be that objectfile is using the
wrong suffix - the current version at Sussex doesn't know that Linux
uses .so files, and would default to a .o suffix.
I suspect objectfile needs to be updated to know about Linux - I can't
do it because I don't have a Linux system here, but if you do it let me
know so I can update our version, or mail me back if you want more
advice. I'd need to know the values of sys_os_type and sys_machine_type.
