problems installing git docs and gitweb on centos 5.5

Am I the only one having issues installing git docs? I had the man pages installed perfect yesterday, but having so much trouble getting gitweb installed, I decided to start a build from scratch today and for the life of me cannot get the man pages installed again. I do a yum update on my OS and when I go to install the dependencies I run into conflicts with python libraries. I remove the python library and reinstall and yum stops complaining. I then 'make install-doc' again and get an 'nbsp' not defined error. I have everything installed I had yesterday when the man pages were installed successfully. What changed from then until now? I'm running CentOS 5.5 and git 1.7.3. Am I the only one having these problems? Is this a CentOS repository problem?

Also, is there anywhere I can get better documentation on installing gitweb and gitosis running properly? If not, is there anything I can do to gain the experience that would assist me in better understanding this documentation. I've been supporting linux for 8+ years now and cannot wrap my head around how to make this happen. I've tried every tutorial on the web that would ease my experience in setting up the source and am reading the docs that come wrapped in the git source package over and over again. I'd really hate to have to resort to SVN or CVS because my development team would like a subversion system up asap. Please help! Much appreciated, and thanks for understanding.
