One problem here is that the new releases, both bin and src are shipped
without clean.  (perhaps we can get that fixed)  What I do each time I
try a new release is create a new directory and untar the release there. 
If it works, I may or may not rename that directory my "nist" directory.

I did go back and install the August emcsrc release under RH5.2 and the
compile went without a hitch.   The iostream.h error was still there but
didn't affect the outcome.  I have the standard RH 2.0.36 release from last
year.  (at this point I can't make the src compile with Mandrake 7.0)

Will indicated that mbuff.h errors shouldn't be a problem and I did not
get that error in this compile, so I looked for that file on the RH5.2 and
it just isn't there.  

Perhaps this is a problem of building one release on top of another.
