You can get `Help2man' from any GNU archive site.
FWIW, as workaround it should also be possible to : > /home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head/doc/libtool.1 : > /home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head/doc/libtoolize.1 make then you will see the warning again but it won't be an error any more. Since a tarball will ship with the man pages this is what will happen with them, in case you update any of their prerequisites. Cheers, Ralf
