I guess it looked for the .dylib; didn't find it; tried to settle for 
the .a; and that didn't work.  Weird.

I agree with Karim; ranlib should be run by the Makefile *after* the 
(.a) library is installed; and if 'ranlib' is avaliable, that's a good 
indication that its use is required.

Everything seems to work, after installation, so I'm a happy camper.

Thanks for your help.
