I am trying to build the PDF version of the Gimp manual and am running into problems. I have an up-to-date FC4 installation and I am hoping someone can point me to a simple mistake that I can rectify. I'm trying to keep it simple by doing the following: # ALL_LINGUAS=en ./configure --without-gimp --disable-network # make # make pdf But I get the following mess: |keithh@kph [219]* make pdf |mkdir -p -- xml |-- Profiling XML for en |*** Profiling XML files *** |*** Building LaTeX files *** |-- Building LaTeX for en |I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl |warning: failed to load external entity "http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl" |compilation error: file ../../stylesheets/plainprint.xsl line 6 element import |xsl:import : unable to load http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl |make: *** [stamps/latex.stamp] Error 5 The configure command produced the following: |keithh@kph [217]* ALL_LINGUAS=en ./configure --without-gimp --disable-network |checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c |checking whether build environment is sane... yes |checking for gawk... gawk |checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes |checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c |checking whether ln -s works... yes |checking whether make sets $(MAKE)...

On a related topic: the reason that I'm trying to build the PDF file is that I want to print a hard-copy. If I'm going to invest a lot of time learning a new tool, I want a manual that doesn't tie me to the computer. This begs the question: why not just supply the PDF on the website? This is *way* too much work for a manual.
