Hello Guy! Your description sounds like the htmldoc programm is not installed properly and can not be found. You wrote: Show quoted text

Did you do an "make install" to the HTMLDoc-Programm too? The Perl Modules searches tries if it is able to run "htmldoc". If not, it failes like in your case. Please try the following: - In the shell, run "htmldoc" - If it failes, install it properly and assure, that the htmldoc binary ist located in a directory that appears in your path (command to find out the path-dirs: "echo $PATH"). If the prog is installed but is not located in any of the path-dirs you can ether link it to any of the dirs or add the dir it is located to the path-dirs. Hope this helps you, please give feedback. cheers, Michael
