Compilation Issues (Ubuntu 11.04) : /usr/local/man/man1 File Exists

[bruno...@gmail.com]

During the installation process, I found a small problem with the man page installation. In Ubuntu, I don't know the reason, the /usr/local/man/man1 location is a file, so when the compilation process (default configure) tries to create it, the compilation outputs the error.

Searching a little bit about it, I did not find anything that would make this file needed, so I just removed, and re-compiled the siege, and it worked fine. Who knows what the Ubuntu DEV is doing with the standard files.

Just in case this might help someone out there...

Here is the output of the `make install` with issues:
