I asked:

As usual, this group comes thru with flying colors. Many thanks to:

"Jeffrey S. Jewett" <spider_at_umd5.umd.edu>
John Kohl <jtk_at_atria.com>
Don McKillican <dmckilli_at_QC.Bell.CA>
"Jeffrey C. Ollie" <jeffo_at_noc.netins.net>

The reply that worked the best was from Don:

And sure enough, I looked in the file global.h, and there's the following:

typedef unsigned long int UINT4;

which I changed thusly:

#if defined(__osf__)
typedef unsigned int UINT4;
#else
typedef unsigned long int UINT4;
#endif

And now everything is working as it should, at least on the alpha. We'll
see about how it deals with other systems next :-)

The other replies suggested getting PGP, since it works on alphas, or to
contact the fellow that wrote RIPEM.

Thanks very much again!
