You need a more recent version of docbook2man-spec.pl.
Thanks Peter, I'll hunt one up - incidentally, both FreeBSD 6 and Gentoo
2006.1 use this same version of docbook-utils :-(, so it means going
outside the ports/portage structures (pity).
Actually it doesn't (well not on Gentoo anyway). The docbook2X package
has Thomas Lockhart's version of docbook2man-spec.pl, which works.
Unfortunately there does not appear to be a port of this for Freebsd
that I could find (I guess it is not that vital - can probably just copy
the single file from the Gentoo package).
So - bottom line is that docbook2X *not* docbook-utils (or
docbook-sgml-utils) is the package required. The Pg documentation does
actually say this (requires docbook2X for Linux), but I was confused by
the lack of any such package on Freebsd (oops).
One other point for those who wish to struggle with this - ./configure
does not detect the -spec file, you need to set D2MDIR to where it lives
(/usr/bin on this Gentoo dist) before trying to build the man pages.
Cheers
Mark
