I am afraid, I do not know about gtkdoc-mkdb. Maybe this is already the
culprit... ;)

Please, can you give me some more hints?

The package docbook-style-xsl-doc really wasn't installed, but I
apparently did not solve the problems about those missing files.

Here are some of the currently installed packaged in this regard:

$ rpm -qa | grep docbook
docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-6mdk
docbook-dtd412-xml-1.0-13mdk
docbook-style-xsl-1.60.1-2mdk
docbook-style-xsl-doc-1.60.1-2mdk

$ rpm -qa | grep openjade
openjade-1.3.1-14mdk
libopenjade0-1.3.1-14mdk


I don't know, which doc directory you are referring to (the one
failing?), as there is in almost every project a doc directory.

Any hints are really appreciated.


I am currently back to creating those files by hand. Had to start over
today due to a silly action of mine. However, seems there will be an end
soon, as the compile already took 1.4 GByte and there is only 0.5 GByte
left...

(Yep, this means, the notes on the website are outdated...)
