build fails with error: hggroup::defaults: not implemented

[Ben Abbott]

I did not encounter this problem earlier in the week.

Building on Mac OS X 10.5.4 using Fink to satisfy dependencies, I  
get ...

[...]

vr-idx.texi is unchanged
gawk -f ./mkcontrib.awk ./contributors.in > contributors.texi-t

make[3]: *** [gplot.eps] Error 1
make[2]: *** [interpreter] Error 2
make[1]: *** [doc] Error 2

Is this something that might be local to my setup?
