idlwave won't byte compile

[Jeff Berry]

Good morning,

I'm trying to install idlwave-5.3 for a user at my site, and it
won't byte compile.  I'm running AIX4.3 and emacs-21.3, and when
I try to make idlwave, I get this:
===================
emacs-21.3 -batch -no-init-file -l lpath.el -f batch-byte-compile idlwave.el 
idlw-help.el idlw-shell.el idlw-rinfo.el idlw-toolbar.el 
idlw-complete-structtag.el idlw-roprompt.el 
While compiling toplevel forms in file /mnt/src/idlwave-5.3/idlwave.el:
  !! error (("Required feature idlw-help was not provided"))

Done
gmake: *** [lisp] Error 1
===================

The file idlw-help.el is in the local directory and the file lpath.el
looks like this:
=============
;; IDLWAVE helper file for batch compiles -- Make sure we get the right files.
(setq load-path (cons "." load-path)
      byte-compile-warnings nil)
===============

Am I, not being a lisp programmer or much of emacs user, missing something
obvious here?
