Details

mpage reports an error when passing a pipe to it. This is due to the non-existence of /usr/tmp where, I think, mpage puts a temporary file. After creating this directory with global permissions (777), it works. This file is mentioned in the man page. I'm a bit new at all of this, but I think this is real. I discovered this after bringing the package in, and the above fix stopped the errors.
This task depends upon

Additional comments about closing:  Patched mpage to create temporary files in /tmp and not /usr/tmp. Also fixed compile for gcc4.
