Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-108.7.2) OS: Linux When I attempt to compile kdelibs when it hits the documentation, I get the following errors for ALL docbook files! make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/kde-cvs/kdelibs/doc/kspell' KDELIBS_UNINSTALLED=yes ../../kdoctools/meinproc --check --cache index.cache.bz2 ./index.docbook index.docbook:6: error: failed to load external entity "dtd/kdex.dtd" ]> ^ index.docbook:8: error: Entity 'language' not defined <book lang="&language;"> ^ index.docbook:8: validity error: No declaration for attribute lang of element book <book lang="&language;"> ^ index.docbook:11: error: Entity 'kspell' not defined <title>The &kspell; Handbook</title> ^ index.docbook:11: validity error: No declaration for element title This is the LATEST CVS as of 2:30 AM EST 10/24/2002. libxml, libxslt versions: $ rpm -qa | grep libxml2 libxml2-2.4.26-1 libxml2-devel-2.4.26-1 $ rpm -qa | grep libxslt libxslt-1.0.22-1 libxslt-devel-1.0.22-1 This is the EXACT same error as was reported by bug # 41374. I TRIED the workaround. It failed.
It's the same error, but seems to have a different cause. Downgrade libxml2 to 2.4.25, and libxslt to whatever it was before and the documents will process correctly - there appears to be a problem with the current version of libxml2.
Yup... that solved it! THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!
