You can either copy the Docs from a previous release or mkdir -p Docs/installation/html after running ./autogen.sh nodocs, it should then install. I've just done it to be certain. You need to docs for the webserver's help module and they haven't changed since ages. I did this: cd /tmp svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/branches/rel-1/freevo freevo ./autogen.sh nodocs mkdir Docs/installation/html python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/xxx export PATHONPATH=/tmp/xxx/lib/python2.4/site-packages bin/freevo At the top of the log I get this: LOGDIR: /var/log /var/log/freevo STATICDIR: /var/lib /var/lib/freevo CACHEDIR: /var/cache /var/cache/freevo Loading freevo configuration file "/etc/freevo/freevo.conf" I have some extra prints which show so I'm using the correct version.
