I am trying to move a collection from Greenstone 2.?(circa 2004) to 2.81 on a remote server using the command line import/build process.

We have xml files that are in Greenstone Archive file format from the original collection. Reading this (http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/More_about_plugins#How_do_I_get_my_XML_files_into_Greenstone.3F ) I copied the entire collection folder from the old GS install to the new GS installation and skipped the import step and went to the build.pl step. When I try to build I get the error message below. No new index is built.

Does anyone have a suggestion of what might be impeding the build process?

The output:
*** creating the compressed text
