Either remove that line (hense the sh make* > command you give) or chmod the scripts to 755. Okay, I guess I will then remove the #!/bin/sh lines (You were correct). The reason I had not made them executable is that, while I currently get a lintian _warning_, setting scripts execuatble without of /usr/doc/NAME/examples/ generates a lintian error: E: mh-book: executable-in-usr-doc usr/doc/mh-book/postscript/make-postscript-mh-book 0755 E: mh-book: executable-in-usr-doc usr/doc/mh-book/postscript/make-postscript-mh-book-compressed 0755 Thanks, Peter
