The reason for this problem is that the version of make we have
running on the pMAXen substitutes "mips" rather than "decmips" for
$(MACHINE), and jtkohl doesn't want to change it because he says he's
hesitant to change the stuff we got in the binary release from DEC.
My install rule for the new softwrae uses $(MACHINE) to create the
directories, so it created a "mips" directory rather than "decmips",
and I forgot about this problem and therefore didn't create the
symbolic link.
The "right thing to do" in this case, I think, would be to fix make
on the pMAX, or to install our version of make earlier in the path.
In any case, Stan handled things quickly and efficiently :-).
