Is there a simple way to fix > this problem? I think you're referring to another problem. There were issues with the format of the pod file, not with pod2man itself. The pod2man program cannot be found on your system, either because it is missing or because its location is not specified in PATH. The obvious solution is to correct this problem. Find out if it is installed already, if not then do so. AFAIK this is part of the perl installation but I could be wrong. If it is installed, correct your PATH settings to include the location of the file. Most likely it is installed in /usr/bin and this dir is not in the PATH. As a work around you could try one of the next suggestions: - create a fake pod2man script, just echoing the string fake - edit the file Makefile to exclude the docs from the process - use touch to create a recent man file (basename.1) so make doesn't try to create one Of course you shouldn't do this, you really need the docs... cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
