I spent about 10 hours figuring this one out.  The problem is that you are
compiling with the -n options that allows routine names greater than 8 
characters in lenght.  All of the names in GEMLIB.BIN are 8 characters long.

So there are two solutions to this problem.  One is to allow use the first
8 characters of any GEM call.  Another solutions which I've been using is to
redefine the GEM calls.  I have a include file called GEMDEF.H that looks
something like the following:

#define APPL_INIT    appl_ini
#define FORM_ALERT   form_ale  
       etc.

Anyway I hope this helps.
