Perhaps that should be fixed. The mystery here is that the configure script automatically selects '--disable-doc' if it can't find docbook2html, and it appears that this is happening on your sytem for some unknown reason. Can you look at 'config.log' to make sure it says: configure:6909: checking for docbook2html Then look in config.status for s%@HASDOCBOOK@%yes%g That'll give us a hint where the problem might lie. -keith
