Dear GCC experts, 

   I am trying to compile wp2latex on a HP workstation.   And got this

  gcc  -o wp2latex wp2latex.o p2clib.o -lma
  ld: Can't find library for -lma
  collect: /bin/ld returned 1 exit status
  *** Error code 1

I guess I might have to do this on a PC.   The question is that I
currently don't have gcc on PC and I am not sure if gcc on PC will
find the library for -lma.    Does any one know about this?   I hate
to go through the whole installation and ended up seeing the same
error again.   Please email me the reply.   I am running up against
some deadline and need to get this resolved quickly.   Many thanks in
advance!

BTW.  In case you wonder, wp2latex is a program converting WordPerfect
      5.1 to LaTeX.  I ftp it from ymir.claremont.edu in the directory 
      [anonymous.tex.ibm_pc.front_ends.wp2latex].
