Hi,
I have a similar issue to Bug #295, except that it occurs when manually installing EPM from source.

./configure and make succeed, however here's the output of make test

make test

Portable distribution build test PASSED.
Starting native distribution build test...

I'm not sure if that's an issue at all, however this should hopefully be a simple patch as in #295.

Cheers

Yes, I see this installing from source on Ubuntu 14.04, as well.

same from git build of epm on Ubuntu 17.10

OK, so this was partially fixed in EPM 4.3 (2 years ago) in commit 3d1d2c5, but it looks like I missed the corresponding change when writing the control file...
