The files named Makefile.in are converted into simple Makefile's by the
configure script (or, at least they should be).

Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory;

    2.  Enter the following command:
    
            ./configure && make all

        You might have to adjust the `configure' invocation, depending
        on your situation (see the INSTALL document).

    3.  Send me the output from #2.
