This is stuff that has worked before and hasn't been changed...

...again, nothing here has changed.  The makefile and shell are the

OK, so I bit the bullet and narrowed this thing down.  It's something
in the parsing of \input.  I noticed that the other stuff I translated
used no \input of style files (the comment below sort of explains why
I do this... is it no longer relevant?).

Consider the following...

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{html}

% Personal packages.  Have to use \input rather than usepackage so
% LaTeX2HTML will recognize them.
\input{/users/turner/BlueSky/manual/bug/bluesky}

\begin{document}

Blorp.

\end{document}

Simply doing (no makefile):

oneida% latex manual
oneida% latex2html manual

this bombs with the now-familiar:

 *** processing declarations ***
OPENING /rndDISKS/oneida1/users/restricted/BlueSky/manual/bug/manual.tex 
Cannot create directory manual: File exists
Reusing directory manual:
texexpand: Cannot open 1
 texexpand  failed: No such file or directory

If I change the input line from the absolute path to:

\input{bluesky}

and the file is either in the local dir or found by TEXINPUTS, it
works fine.

Does this help?
