Please describe the problem: Several I/O error were generated when approaching the end of the make script relating to www access to the file: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd Steps to reproduce: 1. ./configure, make ,install 2. 3. Actual results: make generates errors relating to www access. Expected results: establish connection to www destination and download requested file. Does this happen every time? yes Other information: System: iMactel 10.5.3, GCC 4.0.1. Allowed all incoming traffic thorough firewall.
It's validation of the HTML pages. Normally they should not rebuild. Install said DTDs in a local catalog or provide http access from the build box or ignore the errors. Sorry not a bug, Daniel
Thank you for your reply. I'm trying to install gtk-doc and it won't configure without DTD. Can you confirm that this is the same DTD file that xslt is trying to install into etc/xml/catalog? As far as I'm aware, xmlcatalog isn't installed in OSX. You did mention before that your advice regarding Mac is limited, due to resources, but I would appreciate general pointers in the right direction for the benefit of other users. Regarding the I/O error, it could be a security restriction in OSX as I was in root at the time (Apple seems to have configured OSX for above average security). As you mentioned, http access seems to be the solution. I'll try and resolve the problem and post back here the conclusion. A. Extract from gtk-doc configure. ------------------------- checking for xsltproc... /usr/bin/xsltproc checking for XML catalog (/etc/xml/catalog)... not found checking for xmlcatalog... /usr/bin/xmlcatalog checking for DocBook XML DTD V4.1.2 in XML catalog... not found configure: error: could not find DocBook XML DTD V4.1.2 in XML catalog
Correction. xmlcatalog is installed and as mentioned, it's safe to ignore the I/O errors.
