Thank you.  Recompiling solved the problem.

However, recompilation wasn't smooth.  I had to rename

  D:\djgpp\contrib\grx20\lib\libgrx20.a-a ==> libgrx20.a

I don't know why extra '-a' was attached to the lib filename.
I looked makefiles of grx20, but they looked okay.
This was reproducible every time; Running make after removing libgrx20.a
from the dir, libgrx20.a-a was created and thus the next step in makefile
was aborted with error message. (because libgrx20.a was not found due
to the name change.)

I am building on a OS/2 Warp DOS box (P90), but I didn't try to build 
under pure DOS/Win system.  I don't think this can be a problem.  
I suspect ar.exe or make.exe of djgpp v2.0 beta package.
Anyway, I tested the recompiled grx 2.0 lib with grx's test programs
and they all worked well in OS/2 full-screen dos box.

Could someone identify the problem?

Here is the log screen when I reproduced the error:
(Before running djmake, I deleted grx20\lib\libgrx20.a)

At this point, grx20\lib\libgrx20.a-a was created with wrong extension.
