Hi Dave,
I tried the solaris statically linked medm that is distributed from Argonne
on both our solaris 5.6 and 5.5.1 suns.  It behaves fine on the 5.5.1 sun
and gives the same error that  got on the 5.6 sun.  Jeff and
I think that solaris may have changed enough that a statically built application
for 5.5.1 may not run properly on 5.6.  If you type 
"what medm" it indicates that medm is using a lot of SunOS 5.5.1 Generic Patches.
  
I don't have any problem with cau, but I built it dynamically.  If you are
trying to use a statically built one from Argonne, it may have the same
problems as medm.  I can't build medm, because I don't have the
proprietary software that they use.  Do you have it?
