I've come into two little issues when trying to build fontconfig 2.1.94 downloaded from http://www.fontconfig.org/release/fontconfig-2.1.94.tar.gz. The first issue occured towards the end of the build process. I was building from an NFS mount point. (cd .libs && rm -f libfontconfig.so.1 && ln libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 libfontconfig.so.1) ln: creating hard link `libfontconfig.so.1' to `libfontconfig.so.1.0.4': Operation not permitted So I moved the source to /tmp and restarted make. This time I got lots of errors like: nsgmls:/tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94/doc/fccharset.sgml:758:10:E: document type does not allow element "REFSECT1" here And then the make stopped shortly after I received: Working on: /tmp/fontconfig-2.1.94/doc/fontconfig-user.sgml No way to convert HTML to text found. Finally I spotted the .spec. I did a rpmbuild -bb and the compile went smoothly. I even got the documentation: [phil@phil fontconfig-2.1.94]$ rpm -qd fontconfig /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/COPYING /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/README /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/fontconfig-devel.txt /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/fontconfig-user.html /usr/share/doc/fontconfig-2.1.94/fontconfig-user.txt /usr/share/man/man5/fonts-conf.5.gz _________________________________________________________________ MSN Search, le moteur de recherche qui pense comme vous ! http://fr.ca.search.msn.com/
