[odb-users] Help need with build issue

[Alain-Serge Nagni]

Hi Boris,  I was able to piece together all the information and I can having the system build now. I figure out that I needed to download the the pakage on the webpage: https://build2.org/download.xhtml an follow the instructions in the BOOTSTRAP-UNIX file.

That was not very clear at the first reading for me, but it's all good now. Thank you very much for the info.

Looks like you have another executable called 'bpkg' in your path
(most likely this[1]). Try running:

$ which bpkg
$ bpkg --version

If you installed build2 into /usr/local (which is the default),
then you should be able to fix this by adding /usr/local/bin to
the beginning of your PATH:

$ export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Of course, an even simpler fix is to uninstall the other bpkg if
you don't need it.
