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

    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.
