Problems compiling under freshly installed Irix 5.2

[Rob Francis <francisr at stupid.ucs.indiana.edu>]

We recently recieved an Indigo^2 with 5.2 on it.  We installed the IDO
option and set to compiling geomview.

I'm seeing a weird error, as if there is an old COFF file somewhere.

GEMROOT=/usr/local/src/Geomview
yolanda 45# pwd
/usr/local/src/Geomview
yolanda 46# echo $CPU
iris4

Okay, so maybe there's an old .o files somewhere:

yolanda 48# find /usr/local/src/Geomview -name \*.o -print
yolanda 49# 

Nope.

But when I do a 'make', it complains when trying to link 'clipboard'

        cc -g -float -prototypes -I../../common -I../common
-DMACHTYPE='"sgi"' -I../../../../../include -o crayola crayola.main.o
panel.o  crayola.o callbacks.o  crayBezier.o crayInst.o crayList.o
crayMesh.o crayPolylist.o crayQuad.o  crayVect.o
-L../../../../../lib/sgi   -lgeom -lquad -lpolylist -lvect -lbezier
-lmesh -lvect  -lsphere -linst -ltlist -llist -lbbox -ldg -lcomment
-lbbox  -lstub -lgeom  -lmg -lcamera -lwindow  -lshade -loogl -l3d
-lcolor -loogl  -lforms -lfm_s -lgl_s -lm -lmalloc
ld:
Object file format error in:
../../../../../lib/sgi/libforms.a(support.o): cannot mix Elf and COFF
objects.
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

This happens on other files too, if I comment clipboard out of the
makefile.

I look at $GEMROOT/lib/sgi/*.a, and they look okay, but when I try to
compile a sample problem, linking with libforms, I get the same error
message.

yolanda 55# cc -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/include example2.c
-lforms -lfm_s -lgl_s -lm
ld:
Object file format error in: /usr/local/lib/libforms.a(slider.o):
cannot mix Elf and COFF objects.
yolanda 56# 


Any suggestions?

Thanks much,
