Re: More build problems...

[Simon Sobisch]

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
