Re: GConf / docbook problem

On the advice of Chee Bin HOH, who replied to me directly via email, I 
got past this problem (and the same problem with other packages) by 
using "./configure --disable-gtk-doc".  Worksforme.  It's a shame there 
can't just be a reasonable installer for this docbook nonsense, though.

But a little further along, I'm installing libglade, and it looks like 
that package finds a way around the docbook problem:

>>>

-- Installing ./html/libglade-libglade-initialisation.html

-- Installing ./html/libglade-libglade-sax-parser.html

-- Installing ./html/libglade-modules.html

-- Installing ./html/libglade-notes.html

-- Installing ./html/libglade.html

-- Installing ./html/index.sgml

/usr/bin/ginstall: cannot stat `./html/index.sgml': No such file or 
directory

-- Fixing Crossreferences

<<<

...and then it completes successfully, no errors.  And that was 
*without* using --disable-gtk-doc when configuring the package.

"make install" for GConf fails like this:

 >>>

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.

/bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gconf

(installfiles=`echo ./html/*`; \

if test "$installfiles" = './html/*'; \

then echo '-- Nothing to install' ; \

else \

  for i in $installfiles; do \

    echo '-- Installing '$i ; \

    /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 $i /usr/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gconf; \

  done; \

  echo '-- Installing ./html/index.sgml' ; \

  /usr/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./html/index.sgml 
/usr/local/share/gtk-doc/html/gconf; \

fi)

I did some searching, and some people seem to think that this is because 
of missing docbook files.  I did install docbook-xml and docbook-xsl, 
but those are just archives with no installer and scant documentation, 
so I have no idea if I installed them to the correct place.

Does anyone have any idea 1) if this GConf error is indeed related to 
docbok, and 2) where docbook should be installed?  I'm using Slackware 
9.1; don't know if that makes a difference regarding where to unpack the 
docbook stuff.

Thanks,
Anthony
