Hi

I think there is a possible problem with xmlto-0.0.26 in respect of the giflib-5.1.0 installation in the current development version: if xmlto is installed, then the giflib build system will try to rebuild its documentation, using the xmlto script, but the latter fails, as xmlto can't find local copies of the relevant version of the docbook schema (namely 4.1.2), and the command-line for both xmllint and xsltproc specify the switch '--nonet', so it is unable to download the remote versions as specified in the docbook catalog.

I've also had the same problem with alsa-utils-1.0.28, in this case, relating to docbook 4.2, although with alsa-utils, the doc generation can be disabled with the --disable-xmlto configure switch.

The solution I've used is to change the xmlto script itself, with the following (at pre-configure stage):

sed -i s/--nonet// xmlto.in

Has anybody else had the same problem, and should this fix be considered for inclusion?

Regards,
David
