Re: devhelp build fails

[Ian Martin <martin_id vodafone co nz>]

Hi Kjell,
Agree it's strange.  I built cluttermm using jhbuild, so it's processed 
the other 38 or so libraries with no problem.  On cluttermm it fails.  
The line in cluttermm/build/doc-reference.am that fails is

    $(AM_V_GEN)$(XSLTPROC) $(dh_xsl_params) -o $@ $(tagfile_to_devhelp2) $<

and the compile error is

> /usr/bin/xsltproc --stringparam book_title 'cluttermm Reference 
> Manual' --stringparam book_name 'cluttermm-1.0' --stringparam 
> book_base html -o reference/cluttermm-1.0.devhelp2 
> "/opt/gnome/share/mm-common/doctool/tagfile-to-devhelp2.xsl" 
> reference/cluttermm-1.0.tag
> /usr/bin/xsltproc: relocation error: /usr/bin/xsltproc: symbol

I can't find any information on symbol xsltMaxVars, and can't find where 
it's referenced anywhere.  I did update my  (Debian Sid) system just 
prior to running jhbuild, so I'm wondering if xsltproc has changed it's 
API; as you note, that's a bit odd if it went through the gtkmm docs 
without a problem.  The other option is that cluttermm has an outdated 
call somewhere ( which is much more likely) but I've no idea where to look.

Ian.
