Hello:

I've cloned five minutes ago:

hg tip

changeset:   18051:e6c17e9bc600
bookmark:    @
tag:         tip
user:        Rik <address@hidden>
date:        Tue Dec 03 08:09:23 2013 -0800
summary:     maint: Bump version to 4.1.0+ on default branch.

As I said, the configure script does not warns about the lack of
gl2ps, which I'm sure I have not installed (on Debian the packages are
called libgl2ps0 and libgl2ps-dev)

Also, using this changesed I obtain this error in the documentation generation:
