I'm puzzled. I tried all of this:
- remove /usr/local/man: FAILS
- create /usr/local/man: FAILS
- building on a cleanly installed debian/lenny x86 machine: FAILS
- building on a production debian/etch x86 machine: WORKS!

After looking at the /autoconf/install.sh script, I think it has 
something to do with this line which gives an empty value: 
doit="${DOITPROG-}"

I haven't been able to figure out how I can build it WITHOUT the 
documentation stuff. Could you provide a hint on how to accomplish this?

Thanks.

My guess is that there is a file named /usr/local/man instead of nothing
or a directory.  If my guess is right, solutions include removing the
strange file or using ./configure options to not install the DCC man
pages or to install them somewhere other than in the default /usr/local/man
directory.
