problem with xsltproc when compiling

["Sameer Sahasrabuddhe" <sameerds gmail com>]

Hello,

I was trying to make a fresh checkout of the Dia code, but ran into a
problem when compiling the docs:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/sameerds/trunk/doc/fr'
xsltproc --novalid
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
dia.dbk >dia.1
error : Unknown IO error

I am guessing that the "Unknown IO error" is the fact that I am
sitting behind a firewall with an authenticating HTTP proxy. Or maybe
the http URL is simply an identifier that xsltproc is supposed to use
when looking up relevant catalog, and I might be missing that catalog
or the relevant entry.

How do I fix this?

Sameer.
