Thank you for testing.

Yes, sphinx should be available. I use Sphinx 3.2.1.
Of course, I could provide some configure options that make the sphinx
build optional if sphinx is not available. However, I somehow think that
putting sphinx (even as a weak) requirement seem to be a bit of an
overkill. And one can easily install sphinx even after running configure
and issue "make html" without affecting the rest of the fricas build.
If I ask for sphinx in configure, I would also have to ask for the
availability of LaTeX (for the book). Could be done, but would you like
it that way or rather just some testing and proper error message in
src/doc/Makefile.in? I would somehow prefer the latter.

OK, I'll try that in a VM. Still I would like to know whether you would
want tests in configure.ac or rather src/doc/Makefile.in.

Of course.
