Lemonbar-git installation error with pod2man

Hey everyone! So im having some trouble installing Lemonbar-git the error message is
> lemonbar.1
/bin/sh: pod2man: command not found
Makefile:25: recipe for target 'doc' failed
make: *** [doc] Error 127
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
Ive tried googling the problem and added /usr/bin/core_perl to /etc/profile but that didnt work. NOt sure what to do honestly. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Re: Lemonbar-git installation error with pod2man

Works for me on my 32-bit Arch with [testing] repos enabled.
What's the output of

uname -a
echo $PATH
echo $SHELL

Re: Lemonbar-git installation error with pod2man

As you can see, /usr/bin/core_perl is not in your path. You're also using an old kernel. Why does your shell say '/usr/local/bin/zsh' and not e.g. '/usr/bin/zsh'? How did you install it?

Reboot your computer. If 'echo $PATH' still doesn't show /usr/bin/core_perl, post your /etc/profile.

Edit: Are you sure your $PATH is set correctly? It says

/usr/bin

and then

/usr/local/bin;/usr/bin/jre1.6.0_30/bin:/home/filedentwined/Projects/Android/tools:/home/filedentwined/Projects/Android/platform-tools:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

twice.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

If I remember correctly I installed it wrong but never bothered to fix it because I think I read somewhere that It didnt really matter. How would I go about adding /usr/bin/core_perl to my path then?I added it to /etc/profile but It seems like that didnt work. my /etc/profile is

#Set our umask
umask 022

# Set our default path
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/core_perl"
export PATH

# Load profiles from /etc/profile.d
if test -d /etc/profile.d/; then
    for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
        test -r "$profile" && . "$profile"
    done
    unset profile
fi

# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
    . /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

# Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
unset TERMCAP

# Man is much better than us at figuring this out
unset MANPATH

I wish I could post on how I fixed it but even that im not sure of. I just stopped using the computer for a bit to go run some errands and when I came back I said screw it and tried running makepkg -si again and for some odd reason this time it actually compiled and installed on my pc. I was confused as ever since I had done the same thing before I left and it didnt work
