Are you sure that's a build **failure**, and not just a **warning**? I think I remember seeing the "help2man: can't get --help" error for years. I know that having serious-looking warnings in the build system isn't ideal; we've had an open bug tracker item for this for ages. > This is with python version 2.5.5 > > I suggest this patch, which *should* work with both 2.6 and 2.5 > (but warning: I am *not* a python programmer). I'm not a python programmer either, but git must (and has been) compile with python 2.4.5. (unless anybody updates the package in GUB) 2.13.13 definitely compiled with 2.4.5, and I can't remember any changes to convert-ly since then.
