...and when I enter this directory the makefile is looking for
programs that do not exist on this machine, like db2pdf.

(start/grump) I do wish that the clever folks that create these traps
for the perpetually innocent like myself would observe the first rule
of system design: K.I.S.S. How hard is it to put all the documentation
in a pdf file and just gzip it? Why make the user jump through all
these hoops? (end/grump)
