Solved problem with docbook on Debian woody.

[kmyksvo online no (Kjell M. Myksvoll)]

Hello all,

I don't know if it is of any interest, but while trying to build
garnome 0.12 and 0.12.2 on a woody box, the compilation eventually
failed with the following message:

 ==> Building gnome/libxslt as a dependency
 files/buildDocBookCatalog
 mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/hacks/garnome/etc/xml': Filen eksisterer
 Found DocBook XML 4.1.2 DTD in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/xml/4.1.2
 could not locate ISO DocBook entities
 make[2]: *** [pre-configure] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kmm/b/garnome-0.12.0/gnome/scrollkeeper'
 make[1]: *** [dep-../../gnome/scrollkeeper] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kmm/b/garnome-0.12.0/gnome/gnome-terminal'
 make: *** [dep-../../gnome/gnome-terminal] Error 2

Found out after a while that the build file searched the /usr/local
directory for files matching the expression "iso*amsb.ent", before
searching the /usr/share/sgml directory. Unfortunatly it found a file
matching the expression in my /usr/local/lib/xemacs directory
somewhere and used that file for the ISO Docbook test/search...

Changing the search order as shown in the appended patch below solved
the problem (for me at least).

best regards,
kmm
