Is there a fix > available for this? It works fine for me here (Debian): tar xzf git-2.2.0.tar.gz cd git-2.2.0 ./configure --prefix=/tmp/foo --mandir=/tmp/bar make install-man puts the manpages into /tmp/bar. Can you elaborate on the commands you're running? After running the configure script, can you confirm that "mandir" is set appropriately in config.mak.autogen? -Peff
