Well, I did the update of the Gmakefile after the compilation and now I didn't get any error messages anymore. I don't no, if for some reason I didn't get the latest version of the cvs tree (but I did erase the entire tree and reinstalled it, following the instructions) or wether something else later in the compilation process made the compilation the html directory possible... I can't check wether the manual pages work because Grass isn't running yet. In the grass5/man directory, only man1 has any content at all. The other ones (man2-5 and help) are empty and only man1 has 'man' as its owner.
