I cloned the current source tree and tried to build it and I get the following error. Could someone tell me why and if there is an easy way to fix it? I’m running on a Mac and everything ran fine up to this error. Is is an excerpt from my typescript file.

When I navigate to that URL it loads for me; I'm wondering if this is a firewall preventing you from accessing the dtd ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2015-02-24 19:06 Subject: Re: Build error with current source release Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqvbirqgcx.fsf%40gitster.dls.corp.google.com In-Reply-To: <03B16590-C319-478F-B19C-7EF3B51952BC@jrw.org> ``` "J.

Sorry, no, I do not do Macintoshes, so even if I remember exact steps I took to fix my host configuration error several years ago on my Debian box, I suspect that the solution would not apply to you. ``` ## John Szakmeister, 2015-02-25 10:30 Subject: Re: Build error with current source release Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAEBDL5VeKNV-RN-Q8MnC3PYRAdWa2%3DLbPEfRM%2BtcywUtFFHvmw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <03B16590-C319-478F-B19C-7EF3B51952BC@jrw.org> ``` On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 9:23 AM, J.

If you aren't opposed to using Homebrew, then I believe installing the docbook package will help you here. I installed xmlto that way, which automatically brought in the docbook packages for me. -John ```
