[FLASH-USERS] gmake of FLASH3.0 under Solaris 5

I have been having problems gmaking a FLASH executable under Solaris 
5.10. The computer is a SUN 4 dual cpu machine with AMD Opteron 
processors.

After a number of F90 modules have been successfully compiled I get 
the message:

if [ -s "nameValueLL_data.mod" -a "nameValueLL_data.mod" -nt 
"namevaluell_data.mod" ];then ln -f nameValueLL_data.mod 
namevaluell_data.mod;fi
/bin/sh: test: unknown operator -nt

The problem seems to be that in the Bourne shell in Solaris 5.10 the 
test program does not recognise the -nt option.

I have tried replacing /bin/sh in all the FLASH3.0 scripts by 
/bin/bash using the following command (issued from the top FLASH3.0 
directory):

find . -type f -exec fgres "/bin/sh" "/bin/bash" '{}' \;

However, I still get the same error message.

Any useful ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Geoff Bicknell
