Thanks! That fixed my problems, I guess I didn't even check to see if
I had that package installed. I didn't think of checking to see if w3m
was installed - thanks for pointing out the obvious :)

One I idea I had to solve these dependancies issues between specific
versions and packages for all the different distro's is to add all 
of the packages that are needed for building manual or any other 
buildroot maintenance script (stuff that is in support/scripts) to
buildroot as host packages and then put together a 
buildroot_maintenance_defconfig that will build all of the packages
need for the host system to run this scripts. Let me know what 
you think about that and we can maybe continue this discussion 
in a different thread.
