Comment(by hamish):

 How did you install GRASS? how are you running g.extension? (from the gui
 or command line?) Was your GRASS install built from source or packaged?


 when built and run from the grass source dir (ie uninstalled),
 MODULE_TOPDIR should be the top dir in the source tree, and the g.html2man
 script is in tools/g.html2man/, and it looks for it there.

 when installed with 'make install', the Man.make file is modified to point
 to $GISBASE/tools/ instead, since there is no source tree remaining. The
 Debian/ubuntu packages don't fully use 'make install', so handle that
 themselves in the package-building script.
 If other install methods are not using 'make install', they'll have to be
 adjusted to replicate what 'make install' does.


 It should all work out of the box for the last 10 months. Please clean out
 earlier installs and source trees and try afresh.


 Looking at the code and installed results on a few machines here,
 everything looks in order to me. The patch you suggest is already taken
 care of on lines 145-146 of the 6.4.svn Makefile.
