Later on, more man pages in doc/ > are built just fine. I need some extra information in order to debug this. - The config.log file and the Makefile from you build directory - The output of 'make --version' and 'help2man --version' Are you building from the Git repository or the release tarball? When you execute make again does it try to rebuild 'doc/guix-daemon.1' if yes, does it succeed? Thanks, --=20 Mathieu Lirzin
