installation - can't find lispsimple.el

Hi.

I tried to install epoch on an HP9000-720 running HP-UX 8.07 on which I have
already installed emacs-18.58, but I had some problems.  First I got an error
that make couldn't open /usr/local/epoch, so I created this directory and
tried again.  This is what transpired:

/usr/local/lib/epoch-4.0p2> make
        cd etc; make  all
        cd src; make  all
        make    -f xmakefile  all
Make:  Don't know how to make /usr/local/emacs/lispsimple.elc.  Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I also tried running make install.sysv and got the same error.  I used find to
search for lispsimple.el and it's nowhere to be found, even though I have lots
of other uncompiled lisp (.el) files in various ../lisp/ directories.

I also want to say that the INSTALL file was somewhat confusing to me as to
what I should use for the "shared lisp directory" if I already have emacs-18.58
up, so I tried using several options, including the default and
/usr/local/emacs/lisp in the paths.h files.

Any help would be GREATLY and humbly appreciated.  Thank you!

P.S.  The emacs-18.58 I installed doesn't start up it's own window; does this
mean it's an "ASCII version"?  (My guess is yes.)

In src/ymakefile the value of 'lispdir' has to have a trailing slash.
In the Epoch distribution it looks like:

lispdir = $(dot)$(dot)/lisp/
