I've never had a non-executable pod2man on my various installs of different OS X versions over the years, so I'm not exactly sure where the issue arises. This has been a pretty common problem for us, though.
We've put a test for presence/executability of pod2man in the installation scripts for the fink tool since it builds manpages out of POD. Other packages don't necessarily check that at configure time, though. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ On 1/25/13 10:03 AM, Sam Seaver wrote: > Actually, I just found out after I sent this that pod2man didn't have > its permissions set correctly.
