Sorry to bother all you experts. I am just a new user and trying to compile
a few small Unix utilities. I'm starting with man-1.4h.

Per the instruction on Cygnus Web page and after applying the patch as
instructed by David Coe, I still haven't managed to compile the program.
The configure script always unable to find conftest.c during the configure step.

Would a kind soul tell me what conftest.c is and is it part of a GNU suite I aven't downloaded, or is it automatically generated.

I wanted to have man working so that I read the page. If I wasn't mistaken man
needs groff too. Correct me if I am wrong.

TIA
