Re: devhelp build fails

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

Could you be more specific? Which documentation fails to build? Gtkmm's 
reference documentation? Any other package's ref docs? 
gtkmm-documentation (the gtkmm tutorial)? Which command fails (including 
all command parameters)?

If the error is in build/doc-reference.am, it's strange that only one 
package is affected. That file is used in many *mm packages. It's copied 
from mm-common by mm-common-prepare in autogen.sh.

I have no problems building the documentation on my Ubuntu 13.10 system. 
When I checked the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxslt.so.1 file, the nm 
command says "no symbols". I don't know what xsltproc expects to find in 
that file.
