I've been trying to install ProofPower 2.8.1p2 on a very recent Ubuntu release (I'm sorry I don't have the precise release version right now). So far I've just been trying to get 'xpp' installed. Having installed tex, I tried configure:
PPTARGETS="xpp" PPHOME=/home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2 ./configure To result in this: Using /home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2 as the installation target directory Using dynamic linking for Motif [: 321: unexpected operator Generating code to install the following packages: xpp If you are happy with these settings, now run ./install to install ProofPower. Not sure what the "[: 321: unexpected operator". Anyway, I tried install: OpenProofPower installation begins [Fri Nov 20 17:27:23 2009] ... Moving to build directory /home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2/src Building xpp See /home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2/build.log for messages install: installation failed; see /home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2/build.log for more details The build log shows failure 26 lines in... chmod u+x makehelp.sh makehelp.sh troff: fatal error: can't find macro file s 0 ? ? .... (and so on) ? ? 219 ? ? 195 make[1]: *** [help.h] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dangdat/flyspeck/pp/pp-2.8.1p2/src' make: *** [xpp] Error 2 Looking at makehelp.sh, there is the following on line 20: r ! nroff -ms help.txt Presumably it's the '-ms' in this line, but I don't know. Any ideas anyone? Mark. _______________________________________________ Proofpower mailing list Proofpower@lemma-one.com http://lemma-one.com/mailman/listinfo/proofpower_lemma-one.com
