Probably not - the file a_stack.sa is created by the "preprocessor". That PP 
does not do much: it just takes the original from pLibrary/... and shifts 
around a few comments to remove parallel code. You should not have to worry 
about the internals, though.

The missing files should usually be created in the build-process. I have no 
idea why they weren't for you. Best do a "make library" and check whether it 
works correctly. If you need more help then, try to give more details about 
what happend in the lines before the above.

Ciao,
Nobbi
