The manual does not build on Ubuntu, due to the fact that a standard ubuntu install points /bin/sh to /bin/dash as opposed to /bin/bash. The Makefile expects bash's echo which is different than dash's echo.
A possibly solution suggested by linuxstb is to use perl instead of echo, and by that not depend on what shell you use.

Quick fix by using perl. It's a bit hackish because perl gets called three times.

Here's an alternative patch - using printf instead of Perl. printf is built into bash, and can optionally be built into dash. Otherwise the external command will be used (which seems to be present everywhere).
