[Refdb-users] btparse libraries and bib2ris

[David K. <to...@xt...>]

I just noticed I do not have a bib2ris application for refdb 8.3.
Looking at the configure log I see that I didn't have the btparse
libraries, nor could I find any reference to them in the unstable debian
distribution (dselect -> select \btparse ...and similar). 

I obtained the libraries elsewhere, installing libbtparse.a in
usr/local/lib and made a symlink in /usr/lib. I recompiled and
reinstalled refdb and the complaint about missing btparse went away.
(make clean, ./configure, make, make install). But I still don't have a
bib2ris executable that I can find. Any suggestions? I dont have the
docs to hand, but I dont recall any suggestions in them about getting
the libs among the early references in the docs about the prerequisite
tools. I have bibtool, and I notice that btparse is part of a btool
package I found references to on the net, there is also java BTools,
which is something else again!
