The stuff under /usr/doc is a temporary, build-time copy of the files.
Some of the images, i.e. the ones that can be shared among all the
languages of the documentation tree, are in a common area under
/usr/doc/share so they may not be "there" when you try to view the
output of a build directly under the /usr/doc tree.

Installing in a temporary area should fix this:

	# cd /usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1
	# make DOCDIR=/tmp/doc install
