The latest ebuild of scrollkeeper, whom glade and gucharmap depend on, fails with the message "checking for DocBook XML DTD... configure: error: not found. Make sure you have the DocBook DTD installed and ensure that it is registered in /etc/xml/catalog." I have studied DocBook in detail, and I conclude that it's totally freaking insane. Hopefully someone else actually understands how this all works and can fix the scrollkeeper dependancies or ebuild. It's probably something typical of DocBook, like a missing stylesheet by Bernard Odues for an XSLT transformation to process the OSD file into a translation table that performs an XSLT transformation to process the source document into a XML form which can then be converted by the standard XML DTD (an XSLT transformation transformation) into various documentation formats. I will attach my config.log, as well as my current XML DocBook catalog.

> I have studied DocBook in detail, and I conclude that > it's totally freaking insane. Haha... this line has made my day... :) Now, regarding the problem, the ebuild for scrollkeeper is okay, and lists at least version 4.1.2 of the XML DTD, so ideally this kind of errors shouldn't happen. What's the file you attached on comment #3? Please attach the contents from /etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/docbook, and also include the output from "equery l docbook-xml-dtd" to see which DTDs you have in your system. Thanks.
Comment on attachment 78130 [details] /etc/xml/catalog My XML catalog scrollkeeper seems to fail on.
Created attachment 78251 [details] /etc/xml/docbook
Yessir! I attached the two files, and here's my 'equery l docbook-xml-dtd': * installed packages app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.2-r1 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.3 app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.4
I did some more looking into this today, and I found this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=173841 This post worked quite well: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-1614317.html#1614317 I'm not sure how this error happened. I never touched my /etc/xml/catalog file before, but somehow it got frobnicated perhaps during an ebuild process. I notice in my logs that libxml updated recently: 1138200507: ::: completed emerge (8 of 17) dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.23 to / So that's probably where the catalog got screwed up. Perhaps the devs of the libxml ebuild are aware of the problem. For scrollkeeper though, the solution is simply: # xmlcatalog --create > /etc/xml/catalog # build-docbook-catalog # emerge scrollkeeper
Most definitely a local problem.
