I think I found the problem.  configure.ac has these lines for testing for 
noweb:

	# search for notangle
	AC_PATH_PROG(NOTANGLE, notangle, no, ${PATH})
	cfiles=`\ls -1 src/libgeda.c 2> /dev/null`
	exit_status=$?

	if test "$NOTANGLE" = "no" -a "$exit_status" = "1"; then
 
But when I put an echo in this section, $exit_status = 2.  So I changed the 
test to:

	if test "$NOTANGLE" = "no" -a "$exit_status" != "0"; then

in configure.ac for libgeda and in gscheme.  Now when I run 'make config' I 
see on the screen:

	checking for notangle... no
	** Cannot find notangle (part of noweb) : using notangle_guile instead **

Now 'make install' is getting much further.  I am building libgeda and only 
failing to find a_pan and a_pan_general and a_pan_mouse while linking gschem, 
but I will dig into that.

Thanks for the help, Stuart.  Regards,
Daniel
