Re: GConf / docbook problem

[Anthony <orders nodivisions com>]

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.
