Thread: error making man docs

RH8, cvs tip. I get this:

[andrew@alphonso src]$ make man.tar.gz 
D2MDIR=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.11/helpers
make -C sgml man

If I don't define D2MDIR it tells me it can't find the script (should it 
be looked for in configure, or supplied?).

cheers

Maybe you want to try out a newer version.  It's at 0.8.2 now.

Indeed; you need to tell it where it is.
