Hi Thomas,
here is a bugreport, really strange things are going on. It's based on
the stable version 2.0.2. The reporter works on an amd64 system with
Debian Linux; the architecture is what seems to trigger the problem.
The symptom is that the installation directories for manpages are not
created, and this is because the ${prefix} variable is used wrongly only
for these. During the automated package build process, we essentially do
the following:
./configure --prefix=3D/usr
make
make install prefix=3D`pwd`/debian/tetex-bin/usr
Therefore mkinstalldir should be called with this prefix prepended - but
is only done for some of the directories:

The question is why $(man5dir) is not correctly expanded. According to
the Makefile, it should be:
man8dir =3D $(mandir)/man8 with
mandir =3D ${prefix}/share/man
Thus it seems that the prefix setting from configure time is taken here,
not the one used for installation.=20
Kurt, can you tell us more about your system? Do you use the ia64 port
of Debian, or do you compile everything for AMD-64? Which versions of
the build-dependencies are installed, which glibc?
Regards, Frank
