thanks for your  link to the patches.
I have now tried both patched-to-give-SOlib as well as  static-lib-versions of 
'numeric' (aka SuiteSparse) programs. Each time configure ends like so:-
-------------------------------------------------
checking for umf_divcomplex in /usr/local/numerics/lib... checking for 
amd_info in -lamd... no
configure: error: libamd: Library missing (Cannot find symbol amd_info). Check 
if libamd (sparse matrix minimum degree ordering) is installed and if the 
version is correct

I would be grateful if anyone list could provide some advice of a fix.
