Noweb (in fact the notangle utility) has nothing to do with this problem. It looks like you think you are using it but the configure script has selected the 'embedded' notangle_guile.scm as the way to process the .nw files. It happens when configure can not find notangle on the system. I guess there is a problem in your path configuration or something like that. notangle_guile.scm is a little scheme script (my first actually) I wrote to remove noweb from the list of dependencies. There is indeed a problem in this script: my guess is that the character ' is not recognized as a valid character for a chunk name. I will fix it. For now, you may want to investigate why it did not find the original notangle on your system. BTW I would not recommend its use for a developer as it does not add to the resulting source file the debug information the original notangle adds (especially the line numbers as Werner noticed).
