I am not sure I am understanding the issue.
Does the problem shows up when you are acting as a "final user"
or as a "packager" of the PPL ?

I am asking because yesterday I tried installing the PPL as a final 
user: I downloaded the latest snapshot, I configured it with all foreign 
language interfaces _disabled_ (and after having _uninstalled_ ocamldoc, 
just to be sure) and everything went fine. That is, the manuals that 
need to be installed by `make install' are already built and distributed 
in the PPL .tar.gz.

Can you please provide us with the exact sequence of commands leading to 
the problem?

Thank you in advance,
Enea.
