Thanks!  That definitely got me further along.  The manpage was built,
but I still had to contend with the following error...

  DBOOK doc/xmlstarlet.1
Note: Writing xmlstarlet.1
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `doc/xmlstarlet-ug.pdf', needed by
`all-am'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ffernand/src/.interest/xmlstar'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I don't need the pdf, so in the auto-generated Makefile I changed the line...

    dist_doc_DATA = $(userguide_gen) doc/html.css $(txtguide)

by removing $(userguide_gen) in order to continue with the `make install`.

I was able to build and install (including manpages).  Thanks for
that!  I know that doesn't help you much :(

much appreciated,
