Hello James,

Please clarify:
- which version of gp2c you compile ?
- what is your operating system ?
- what options you gives to configure ?

The 'missing' program is perl, probably.

A work-around is to do
cp desc/func211.dsc desc/func.dsc
If you do not have a file desc/func211.dsc, you can find it in the
released GP2C tarball.

Cheers,
Bill.
