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<( .
