Well if you use a tarball from Scids site to compile yourself egtb is 
included. Any problems with ./configure spotted?

Well, the code is included if you have tb-files or not. There's just no 
search path set.

I wonder if this solves the problem but it's worth a try. You may use a 
procedure like this:

$ mv $HOME/.scid $HOME/_scid
$ mkdir $HOME/sourceforge
$ cd $HOME/sourceforge
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@scid.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/scid login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@scid.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/scid co 
-P scid

This gives you the cvs code in $HOME/sourceforge/scid. Just press enter 
after the first cvs line if you're asked for a password.

To build it:

$ cd scid
$ cvs update
$ export PATH=.:$PATH
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./scid

This gives you a clean compile of current cvs and provided you run the 
export PATH statement and run scid from within it's build dir you don't 
need an install step. I use this version right now and checked that EGTB 
is working.
