This looks like you don't have enough of the other backing trees mounted.

Check to see if osf1repages.pt is also mounted or what ever the ../link
points to.  You can check this by doing a ls -l of the link file in the
osf1refpages.ptmaint backing tree.

Sean,  I just called Rich.  Although "Error parsing rc description 
file..." is usually due to a missing reference page backing tree, Rich 
does have all the reference page backing trees mounted.  Note that the 
first error is:

	lookup/getenv: target_machine not found
	lookupvar target_machine failed
	error evaluating argument

Where is target machine defined/set?

This tells me that the rc files are not set up correctly either in the
sandbox or in the backing tree.

Hi Rich,

The target_machine variable was added to the shared rc_file in the 
osf1refpages.pt pool back on Apr 23.  I would have thought that sup would 
have picked this change up for you.  I also would have thought that not 
having this defined would have caused a problem for the UNX writers 
sooner.  Ah well, ours is not to reason why...

Anyway, the following lines need to be added to

	/usr/doc/osf1doc/refpages/build/osf1refpages.pt/rc_files/shared

# change for ode3.0 make from ace to alpha
replace setenv target_machine alpha
replace setenv TARGET_MACHINE ALPHA

Try this and let me know what happens.
