bable won't configure
I just upgraded to the newest Babel (3.6-4) and it seems to have gotten
screwed. It won't configure because it says it doesn't know how to
generate manfnt.mf, and then it says it can't find manfnt.mf. It then
writes a huge log file to disk, which has crashed my machine already
because it filled up the disk, so now I kill it before it writes too
much.
I had installed some new TeX packages right before I installed Babel,
could that be the reason it is messed up right now. I have included all
the output from the configure and the end of this message in case that
can help anyone figure out what happened.
Thanks
Shaya
