I ran the same commands on Ubuntu 8.03 and didn't have any problems. I used the
a2x -v switch and as you can see it picked up the conf file from the current
(repo) directory tree.
My guess is that you already have an existing asciidoc executable in your PATH
which would result in a2x trying to load the conf file relative to that asciidoc
executable then, failing that, the global /etc/asciidoc/ config directory.
The tarball includes the compiled man pages so you don't have to build them
before installing and don't get the error.

I downloaded asciidoc via
hg clone -r 8.5.3 https://asciidoc.googlecode.com/hg/
asciidoc-8.5.3
and then had the error above during the [documented install procedure]
(http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/INSTALL.html)
So I did an hg pull&& hg update but still got that error... evidently
asciidoc depends on a prior install for that part of the install to
work. But should it?
