Just omit the dsssl option. You get a warning:
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/docbook.dsl does not exist. You will probably not be able to generate the documentation from the DocBook source files. -- Bruce Bruce, the Command explanation suggests to add the directive ‘—with-dsssl-dir’ when docbooks is not installed to avoid a warning. But it actually makes things worse, because you get an error instead of a warning when you do so: pol@iMac400:/sources/fcron-3.1.2$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ > --localstatedir=/var --without-sendmail --with-boot-install=no \ > --with-dsssl-dir=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79 (…) checking Looking for dsssl stylsheets... configure: error: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/html/docbook.dsl does not exist. So, the correct explananation should look like: - don’t use the directive if your system doesn’t have docbooks (the warning is harmless); - use the directive if your system has docbooks, but fcron configurator cannot find it. It is maybe possible to avoid the error by just creating the path to dsssl-dir, as specified by the directive, but I didn’t test this. pvg
