12 There's no such thing. Did I mention such a thing?

37 I didn't really expect the problem to be in the ebuild anyway.
38 This all seems very strange, and I can't do much because I can't recreate the
39 problem. If you could send me the entire compile output it might help, and
40 then again it might not. I just don't know what to say :-(

42 One thing I *can* do is simply disable the makefile's operation on the
43 manpage. The manpage is actually distibuted pre-compiled (not latex source or
44 something), so all the makefile does is add a .1 extension and install it. So
45 I'll do that now. Wait a couple of hours after this post, emerge rsync and
46 try again.
