+==================================
+You need a working asciidoc installed to be able to build the manpage.
+
+a2x is installed, but for some reason it isn't working.  Sometimes
+This happens because required docbook support files are missing.
+Please install docbook-xsl, docbook-xml, and libxml2-utils (Debian) or
+similar.
+
+Alternatively, to build without manpages, use the --disable-asciidoc
+argument when calling configure.
