Hi Patrick,

OK, there are a few things to try:

  1) try "which bash", "find bash", and/or "locate bash" as a 
     bash version might be installed in an odd place such as 
     /opt/, /usr/local/, or other...

  2) genmake2 was written to be sh- and bash-v1-compatible so if 
     there is no bash interpreter please try running it with

       $ sh genmake2 -ieee -mods=../code  ...etc...

     and let me know if there are any errors--I will add fixes 
     necessary to keep genmake2 sh- (bourne shell) compatible

  3) Ask the sysadmins to install bash.

  4) The ultimate fall-back is to install it yourself
       http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html
     which I can help with if you need it.

Ed
