maybe they build easier right now, but i have had my workflow interrupted because i could not build the help documentation for gimp. i needed gimp, not help documents. i have not tried to build them recently. i am waiting for something other than docbook format. i would rather tinker with gap than learn more of the evil of docbook; it really does some things that i would never ever do to people in documentation. so, since i do not really know what it is like to build the documents lately, can someone provide a dependency list of the things needed to build the help docs? also, my bad feelings of the method have nothing to do with the text the format contains, nor the people who endure what i consider rude and inefficient means of writing documentation. even the people who designed it, this has nothing to do with any personal feelings there. long ago, gimp depended on emacs to build its help documentation. this made and still makes me laugh some. consider having jade suggested to help you install gimp? i would rather gimp depend on emacs, in fact, maybe this is the solution .... carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
