I am getting the follow stream of errors: (sorry for the long lines) > # make ASCIIDOC8=Yes man > GIT_VERSION = 1.6.4.2 > make -C Documentation man > make[1]: Entering directory `/raida/packages/git/Documentation' > GEN doc.dep > make[2]: Entering directory `/raida/packages/git' > make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. > make[2]: Leaving directory `/raida/packages/git' > make[1]: Leaving directory `/raida/packages/git/Documentation' > make[1]: Entering directory `/raida/packages/git/Documentation' > make[2]: Entering directory `/raida/packages/git' > make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. > make[2]: Leaving directory `/raida/packages/git' > ASCIIDOC git-add.xml > XMLTO git-add.1 > I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd > /raida/packages/git/Documentation/git-add.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" > D DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" > ^ > ASCIIDOC git-am.xml > XMLTO git-am.1 > I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd > /raida/packages/git/Documentation/git-am.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" > D DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" I have read through INSTALL and Documentation/README. I have tried to cover all dependencies, but I suspect that I'm missing something simple. Note that 'git' itself compiles fine and I can build the HTML pages fine also. It seems to be the man pages that cause the problem. Note that I am using openSUSE 11.1. I was able to build the man pages on my older openSUSE 11.0 machine, but not any longer. I would appreciate any advice you are willing to share. Thank you. -- Brian Schang ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2009-09-01 02:44 Subject: Re: Troubles building man pages Message-ID: <7v7hwjidt2.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v7hwjidt2.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <4A9C8750.60308@lists.schang.net> ``` "Brian S.

The following was an ancient experience of mine with a different distro but I am reasonably sure it would point you in the right direction. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107387 ``` ## Brian S.

The link you sent suggested a reinstall of DocBook. I tried that and magically everything started to work fine. I appreciate the help. -- Brian Schang ```
