One of the requirements of distcheck is that everything is installed under $prefix (which is different from xorg-sgml-doctools' prefix). So there needs to be a --with-sgml-path=foo override for the detected path. Cheers, Julien </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Yuck, I had not realized I had created one of those monsters. While xorg-sgml-doctools was read-only, no problem. When using it to populate the target dbs for document cross-referencing, write permission began to matter. An alternative is to install the *.db files in their respective packages and have the xorg-sgml-doctools masterdb point to the packages. Either way we do it, there will be warnings about olinks not found during distcheck. This is because for olinks to work, all packages, including xorg-sgml-doctools, must be installed under the same $prefix. I'll give that a try. Thanks! </BODY> </HTML>
