In the unlikely event that someone else is trying to compile the documentation from source on RHEL 4 and has problems, I also had problems linked to an update for libpng that doesn't happen to be available for RHEL4 through up2date for some reason.
1) Installed with Developers kit and Docbook packages (for gcc and tetex packages). 2) Downloaded libpng-1.2.8 srpm for FC3 and rebuilt it using "rpmbuild --rebuild" then installed the resulting libpng-1.2.8 rpm (3) Downloaded and installed zlib-devel-1.2.3 srpm and rebuilt it using "rpmbuild --rebuild" which did throw some odd errors about the "builder" user not existing, but since I don't think I actually needed this I just ignored it. In fact it doesn't appear that I installed it at all. I only mention it here as it was a required package when I build libpng from the non-rpm source. 4) with up2date I downloaded and installed the latest versions of xpdf, transfig, and xfig which pulled down a package called ImageMagick as a prerequisite, even though I installed them before without it (I think this may have been part of my problem). Then from the latest svn checkout I did "./autogen.sh", "./configure", and "make install". After all that, "make docs" finally gave readable pdfs. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Oscar-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oscar-devel
