Re: [Reduce-algebra-developers] Reduce snapshot 12 April

Thank you. Your prompt report will really help. We will not try again 
until we have both had a chance to investigate these issues and see what 
other ones others raise. If there are going to be serious delicacies about 
just which versions of various shared libraries different versions of 
Linux use that is going to be HORRID. So any investigation and advice you 
can give will be useful. The Linux versions were built on an Ubuntu 15.10 
that had used "apt-get upgrade" to get it thoroughly current.
