reassign 327459 xsltproc thanks Hi,
I'm reassiging this to xsltproc, since this obvisouly isn't a bug in happy. Ian: the thing to run is: xsltproc /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/html/docbook.xsl conftest.xml The configure script goes over a few path's and that's the one that should work, and does for some people and doesn't for a few others. In the log that Blars mailed, you'll first see: warning: failed to load external entity "/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/html/docbook.xsl" cannot parse /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/html/docbook.xsl That's from the first call with /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/html/docbook.xsl, almost all the nexts lines are from the good call. The next line that's not part of it is: warning: failed to load external entity "/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl-st ylesheets*/html/docbook.xsl", which is like the 10th last line or something. Because the script fails to detect the correct path, it ends up with no path, end you end up with using "/html/docbook.xsl" instead, which isn't supposed to work. However, I don't understand why you sometimes get return code 0. There also seems to be a simular failure building something else: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=evince&ver=0.4.0-1&arch=ia64&stamp=1126143473&file=log&as=raw This also doesn't really seem to be arch specific, since the buildd for powerpc failed while I can't reproduce it on powerpc. My first guess would that there was some (build) dependency missing somewhere, but that doesn't look like it's the case. An other options was that it was trying to download something from internet, and it does try it. But that doesn't seem to have any effect on the result. Then I get: xsltproc /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/html/docbook.xsl conftest.xml ; echo $? error : connection refused conftest.xml:3: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"; "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";> ^ <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"><title>A DocBook Test Document</title><meta name="generator" content="DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.68.1"></head><body bgcolor="white" text="black" link="#0000FF" vlink="#840084" alink="#0000FF"><div class="book" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a name="test"></a>A DocBook Test Document</h1></div></div><hr></div><div class="toc"><p><b>Table of Contents</b></p><dl><dt><span class="chapter"><a href="#id-one">1.

This also means it's using something outside of main.) I have no other ideas what the problem could be. Kurt
