[X-Unix] curl install problem

[Phil Dobbin]

I'm trying to update curl from Jag's 7.7.2 to 7.10.7 in order to install WWW::Curl but I'm puzzled by the make install errors I'm getting:

========================================

make[6]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
make[6]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
cd docs && make install
Making install in examples
make[6]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.

make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

=========================================

It seems to be trying to make a directory called man3 which I can't quite figure out.

Any advice appreciated.
