You were spot on, you just hit the nail there!! >From your analysis, it became clear that it had to be one of the docbook-dtds packages.. I also realized from the error message you had highlighted below that it was looking for DTD V4.1.. While I had V4.1.2 (which apparently, isnt very backward compatible!) So, I just installed a docbook-dtd41 package.. Fired the make again... and things seem to be going further!! Thanks a lot.. Vivek P.s. I am not a member of this list, but if you feel like, please do post this to the garnome-list..
