Thanks for explaining that. I misunderstood something you said in your previous email about libuca being a system library; I thought you meant by that that the compiler linked it automatically on HP-UX, without needing "-luca" in the invocation. (I actually included this change in what I committed yesterday, so no further change is needed now.)
