Nothing has happened to webster. it is still there:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 jik 110592 Nov 15 11:23 /usr/sipb/decmipsbin/webster*
You are in a maze of twisty passages....
My guess is that you have hardcoded a path to /afs/athena/contrib/sipb
which is not correct. you should attach sipb and use the mount point
there instead. In the case of a move, the mount point is much much less
likely to change.
In the future, problems with the sipb software should go to bug-sipb,
not sipb. The sipb list is for all sipb members, many (if not most) of
which do not maintain software in the sipb locker.
