I have read through INSTALL and Documentation/README. I have tried to
cover all dependencies, but I suspect that I'm missing something
simple.

Note that 'git' itself compiles fine and I can build the HTML pages
fine also. It seems to be the man pages that cause the problem.

Note that I am using openSUSE 11.1. I was able to build the man pages
on my older openSUSE 11.0 machine, but not any longer.

The following was an ancient experience of mine with a different distro
but I am reasonably sure it would point you in the right direction.

Thank you! The link you sent suggested a reinstall of DocBook. I tried 
that and magically everything started to work fine.

I appreciate the help.
