I just upgraded to the newest Babel (3.6-4) and it seems to have gotten screwed. It won't configure because it says it doesn't know how to generate manfnt.mf, and then it says it can't find manfnt.mf. It then writes a huge log file to disk, which has crashed my machine already because it filled up the disk, so now I kill it before it writes too much. I had installed some new TeX packages right before I installed Babel, could that be the reason it is messed up right now. I have included all the output from the configure and the end of this message in case that can help anyone figure out what happened.
