First question: does it really cause an error, i.e., make's exit status is nonzero, or merely the warning from `missing' but a successful build? Second question: how can I reproduce this? I built the netcdf-beta.tar.gz on an AIX 5.3 system using native 'make' and a VPATH setup (source tree different from build tree), and it did not try to update the documentation at all. > Can this problem be fixed?
