Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils
I was trying to compile Gnote from source code that I had downloaded to ~/Hämtningar/gnote-0.7.4. (Hämtningar is Swedish for Downloads). ./configure finished without problems but 'make' gave this error: anton@trofast:~/Hämtningar/gnote-0.7.4$ make Making all in data Making all in icons Making all in libtomboy Making all in src Making all in addins Making all in backlinks Making all in bugzilla Making all in exporttohtml Making all in fixedwidth Making all in inserttimestamp Making all in noteoftheday Making all in printnotes Making all in stickynoteimport Making all in tomboyimport Making all in underline Making all in dbus Making all in po Making all in help db2omf: Could not construct the OMF subject element.

Moving the source code to a path that only includes ASCII characters seemed to help TiBeN from the SourceForge thread.
