The problem seems simple. Find out where is lcrypt and install the proper library; or edit the makefile to point to the proper place where lcrypt is.

Ray has retired as far as I know; David Wicksell took over; the updated source code is here: https://gitlab.com/Reference-Standard-M/rsm.

If you are interested in heavily enhancing and testing RSM, I can hook you up with David.

Yes, Sam is correct. Ray Newman retired, and MUMPS V1.71 is the last official version he released.
He gave me all his files and permission to change the license and name, and become the official
maintainer of the project. As Sam also mentioned, I renamed it to Reference Standard M (RSM),
and it will build just fine on Catalina. The latest version of RSM is V1.75.0, and the next version
should be released within 2 to 3 weeks, and will include an implementation of `$increment`, as well
as a journal recovery routine. RSM has over 200 improvements of various kinds over MV1, with many
more to come. So if you liked working with MV1, you should check out RSM. Thank you.
