FWIW, that's what I decided to do now, add a quick... touch <path>/gnome-doc-utils.make ... to my custom gentoo ebuild script that fetches, autoreconfigures, configures, builds and installs live-git pan for me. While that's a workaround for an irritating bug, not a fix, it does lower the priority of actually finding a fix, allowing me to get back to the routine of pulling updates and rebuilding pan every few days, to see what's new. =:^) It's also worth noting that said bug should only affect the live-git version, since there's normally no need to run autoreconfigure for a versioned tarball, only configure (possibly with options), make, make install. And since it presumably only triggers for folks trying to build live-git pan with the help system disabled, even if the bug is irritating, it's unlikely to affect many users, since few build pan from live git sources, and only a few of those will be trying to build it without the help system. That's presumably why I seem to be the only one to hit the issue so far, since I'd guess most have more gnome installed and leave the help-built-by-default option as it is. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
