lilypond-2.18.2/lilypond-from-gitRepo gets muddy with help2man

[lux-integ]

Greetings,

I am new to this list. .  I tried the lilypond-users-list  but a half-response 
led me to surmise perhaps I should try here


I am attempting to compile  both lilypond-2.18.2  and the (unstable) lilypond-
from-git  on a  computer with these:-
--cpu  -amd64 3 cores
--os - linux BLFS(pure 64bit) linux-3.10.37, gcc-4.8.1 guile-1.8.8, help2man, 
dblatex3.2,ghostscript-9.06 (and other reqs to compile  lilypond )



I ran configure successfully (in both instances ) like so:-

cd lilypond-XXXX
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
--options  ....


Then attempted to compile by running make like so:-

make all


However  'make all'  (in both instances )    ends like so:-
#'--------------
/home/linteg/lilypond-2.18.2{ or 
lilypondOutOfGit}/build/scripts/build/out/help2man out/lilypond > 
out/lilypond.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from out/lilypond
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make[1]: *** [out/lilypond.1] Error 127
#-------------

The  build-failure messages above are totally muddy and opaque to me; I 
have'nt a clue what they  mean  nor how to   get the lilypond-build  to pass  
this glitch .



I also tried  to build  within the source tree  (i.e. without the mkdir build 
&& cd build ) before I ran configure  and the same make-failure  results.



Help/advice would be greately appreciated.

sincerely
