Thanks for mentioning this.  I'll have to check it.

I don't think it's necessarily so serious.  `tstbison' is a shell
script.  I've just checked the snapshot, and it's present and
its permissions have the "executable" bit set, so I don't know what
the problem is.  Do you have the working directory in your `PATH'?
You can call `tstbison' with no arguments from the command line.  It
should fail with this output:

tstbison
.tby doesn't exist.  Touching .tby.
.tbh doesn't exist.  Touching .tbh.
Running  .w
./tstbison: line 145: .w: command not found
In tstbison: ctangle failed. Exiting with exit status 1.

However, this will indicate that you're able to call it.

If the suggestions above don't help, make the following change in
CWEB/Makefile.am:

## Old:

parser.tby : $(3dldf_PARSER_FILES) prbsnflx$(EXEEXT)
        tstbison parser $(CTANGLE) $(YACC) "$(3dldf_PARSER_FILES)"

## New:

parser.tby : $(3dldf_PARSER_FILES) prbsnflx$(EXEEXT)
        sh tstbison parser $(CTANGLE) $(YACC) "$(3dldf_PARSER_FILES)"

## End.

There's nothing wrong with that.  I don't understand what you mean by
cross compiler, though.  You would be cross compiling if you were
compiling the source code on one hardware platform to run on a
different one.  If I've understood you correctly, you're using two
different compilers to compile the package on a single platform,
presumably with an Intel processor.  Since 3DLDF is GNU software, I'm
primarily concerned with ensuring that it can be built on GNU systems
(GNU/Linux and the GNU Hurd).  However, I'd appreciate it if you'd
tell me about any changes you have to make to get it to compile with
the Intel compiler, if you choose to use it.

You're welcome.
