Sorry I missed this... the length of the list causes problems on other platforms. The error was that it couln't find a rule to make Using[whatever] so the list is just a little too long. Like you, I cut the list in half. I then assigned each half to intermediate variables, and set data_DATA to those two variables. Works fine for the systems that were having problems (and I needn't run make install twice). I suppose I should have checked it in 8<( .
