 Umm, strange.. In the log-1 shows:
 
 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
 
 The package thinks that it installed in /usr/share/man/*.

 Show me your output of:
 
 # make PREFIX=3D/usr -V MANPREFIX
 
 My output of that is:
 
 # make PREFIX=3D/usr -V MANPREFIX
 /usr/share
 
 Did you set on MANPREFIX or something else in make.conf? Also, I would  =
 
 like to see your converters/libiconv/work/libiconv-1.11/config.log (you =
  =
 
 have to get that same failure for I can see something).
 
 As for the log-2, log-3 and log-4... Are you installing everything in  =
 
 /usr? If you do, then you might need to set LOCALBASE=3D/usr and  =
 
 X11BASE=3D/usr. Have different prefix on some apps and other apps don't =
 work  =
 
 quiet well, so I wouldn't recommend that.
 
 Cheers,
