Description
When configuring and building xapian, the step to build the xapian-config.1 file fails in xapian-core, if the help2man binary is not found on the system.
It seems configure does not check for this.

Seems my sandbox was somehow broken. It works in a fresh svn checkout.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The rule to rebuild xapian-config.1 is only active in you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode. Using this switch should cause configure to fail if any documentation building tools aren't found (including help2man). So I can't see how this can happen!
Can you attach your config.log?
