Hoi,

What version of Perl are you using?
Run perl -v

Then try this patch:

diff --git a/man/help2man b/man/help2man

   }


------------------------
If that doesn't help, try putting parentheses around
each argument to gettext.
[u:\]perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for os2

The patch don't help, and also the PArentheses don't fix it.

For now, I suggest you work around it with this:

     cd man&&  make -t

which will leave you with empty man pages.
If you really want them, generate them on a system
where things work better.

You mean not a Os2 machine or?

Then, maybe your top-level "make" will succeed.
