Scrollkeeper and another error
by Understudy on Sunday March 21, @03:34PM

I was doing another upgrade on another FreeBSD box and scrollkeeper burped again this time for a completly different reason.

checking for DocBook XML DTD... configure: error: not found. Make sure you have the DocBook DTD
installed and ensure that it is registered in /usr/local/share/xml/catalog.
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to gnome@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach
the "/usr/ports/textproc/scrollkeeper/work/scrollkeeper-0.3.14/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command.
Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Okay this wonderful little error explained sort of in the error message. It is looking for a file called /usr/local/share/xml/catalog and it isn't there. If you cd /usr/local/share/xml/ you will see a file called catalog.ports which isn't the file scrollkeeper is looking for. However all the information is in catalog.ports . So you need to create a symbolic link to it. ln -s catalog catalog.ports . This will help with those nasty scrollkeeper issues. Somebody at gnome needs to do a better job of maintaing this port.
