I didn't post a fix because I couldn't find the problem. I don't understand
why revision 1.67 fixes anything related to ranlib. Roberto did not really
say what the problem was, so I gave up.

OK, we can add that to the list of compilers that seem to work. I've hoped
that we could remove all fortran code from AmberTools, and hence all need to
specify which fortran code to use...

This was fixed a while ago--Roberto had been testing an outdated AmberTools
(if I remember correctly).

This is perhaps not a lex error, per se, but a failure of portability -- we
are assuming that lex code can be handled in a way that doesn't work for SGI's
lex. The only simple solution I can see is to require flex, even for SGI.
