feff8.2x compilation on linux

[Matt Newville <newville@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Hi,

Has anyone built feff8 from the CVS tree on linux?  It took
me about 45 minutes to get it to compile, and I had to alter
essentially every Makefile (somewhere around 15 Makefiles
altered) in the process. It looks to me like all the Makefiles
are hardwired for IRIX.  Has anyone else tried this?

The 'vers.h' I see in feff82/src/HEADERS says 8.20x4. I assume
that's the latest version, but haven't seen any announcement
for that version in this mailing list, so I'm unsure. I've also
seen a lot of reference to '8.24', but can't tell if that's the
same version or not. How can I tell what the latest version is?

Whatever the version, there must be an easier way to do compile
Feff8 on linux.  What Am I missing?

Thanks,

--Matt
