To make ddd.ps. 

1. Make sure pdftops is installed. (This is part of TeXLive or the 
   Debian/Ubuntu "context" package

2. Alter ddd/Makefile.am to change EPSTOPDF to pstopdf. Patch is attached

3. In the doc directory, type:
   make ../doc/ddd.ps

ddd-Makefile.am.patch
Description: patch for current epstopdf usage.
