That's a bad error message... This is what happens: 1 help2man is invoked 2 help2man invokes cobcrun to get the help 3 help2man sees unexpected stderr output and stops with an error 4 the missing script recognizes the error and assumes there must be a problem with help2man ... The most likely reason for cobcrun to not start correctly is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH misses an important path Please do the following to see the actual error: cd /export/home/tools/gnucobol/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin "../pre-inst-env" cobcrun -q --help Simon Am 04.01.2020 um 18:22 schrieb George R Goffe: > Hi, > > Still more build problems. > > I don't know what do to here.
