#When building help2man and perl has the module Locale::gettext I get the error:
#sh: error while loading shared libraries: libintl.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
#solved by (adding /ffp/lib to the end):
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/zy-pkgs/lib:/ffp/opt/serf-1.3.6/lib:/ffp/lib
#and also the error:
#help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./help2man
#Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
#solved by removing Locale::gettext perl module:
perl ~/tools/uninstall_perl_module.pl Locale::gettext -> only shows what files should be removed
#then remove by hand the Locale::gettext specific files
