The docs say that if you want to install documentation you need to "make
install-docs". Did you do this?

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-procedure.html

It also indicates:

--prefix ... (The man and doc locations are not affected by this.)

I'm not exactly sure what that means, not having done a source installation
myself before, but if you go doing customization to the default values you
probably need to be aware of this.

It helps greatly if you provide the O/S and commands used when asking for
help on installation matters.
