Yes, I should have said that this message only appeared after the
others that report on the status of the to-be-checked-in files.  So it
doesn't seem serious, but I thought I would mention it.

I just ran

  make clean
  ./configure
  make

and there are errors related to images in at least the the main/comms
and main/fixed directories.

Error: etex (file awgn.pdf): cannot find image file
 ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: see comms.log for errors.

(I have to type RET several times in response to TeX error messages to
get this far).  It seems that there are no rules to build the required
pdf files.  Or maybe I don't have the right tools installed?  What is
needed?
