Pardon what may be a stupid question, but ...

I'm new to TeX, having known about it for years but having no need to
install it.  Recently, I picked up the imaketex tar file from stanford
and commenced to build TeX using the files contained therein.  All was
going well, until:

 
       making all in .//usr/local/tex/web...
       make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `tangle.web'
       Current working directory /usr/local/tex/web
       making all in .//usr/local/tex/mf...
       make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `mf.web'

       make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `tex.web'

       make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `vptovf.web'
       Current working directory /usr/local/tex/etc
       making all in .//usr/local/tex/cm...
       making all in .//usr/local/tex/lib...
       making all in .//usr/local/tex/glue...


A quick check of the Makefile's in the respective directories found
no entries for the *.web targets.  Am I missing something, or just some 
of the software?

Thanks in advance.
