Unfortunately Configure wants a filename starting with '/' here.
Just press enter here, it doesn't matter. If you look at the generated
config.sh file, you will find 'less' there instead of '/usr/ucb/more'
;-) There is a small script in 'djgpp/' which fixes this.

It should be $DJDIR/man. I will look at this.
