Re: Can't build doc anymore (v1.7.3.2)

I recommend re-installing the docbook-dtds package alone and in
isolation from other Yum/RPM transactions. If the xmlcatalog file is
correctly regenerated AND the docbook files are there AND you have
(re)run ./configure prior to running make AND you don't have filesystem

Don't do that unless you're using configure for git usually. I don't
think Francis is, he's setting make variables.

I won't, I just call make with some variables set.

errors THEN you should have a successful build. (Barring something that
crawls up out of the rabbit hole--other than a rabbit.)

Fix the most obvious possible problems first before seeking
off-the-beaten-path solutions or worse blaming somebody.
