Postgresql Autodoc install: "No rule to make target `postgresql_autodoc.1.in', needed by `postgresql_autodoc.1'. Stop

Question

I downloaded the latest Postgresql Autodoc (v1.41) from http://www.rbt.ca/autodoc/index.html
When I run make I get this error:

make: *** No rule to make target `postgresql_autodoc.1.in', needed by `postgresql_autodoc.1'.  Stop.

What is the problem?

Mac OS X Lion, 10.7.5
GNU Make 3.81

Thanks Peter! Per your suggestion, I just sent author Rod Taylor an email. – Rob Bednark Mar 01 '13 at 22:04

In this particular case you can circumvent the problem pretty easily:

tar -zxf postgresql_autodoc-1.41.tar.gz
cd postgresql_autodoc
cp postgresql_autodoc.1 postgresql_autodoc.1.in
make
