I haven't installed DocBook at all. So the check for DocBook naturally always
fails. Could that be the reason?
If you don't have the docbook stylesheets, but you do have xmllint,
configure's probe will cause xmllint to try to download those
stylesheets off the net. For me, that always succeeds, but it
takes two or three seconds. I find it curious that it seems to be
timing out for you.
Correction: xmllint is interested in the DocBook XML DTD, which is
downloadable from
<http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd>. This is what
might be in a package named "docbook" or "docbook-xml". xsltproc is
interested in the DocBook XSLT stylesheets, which are at
<http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/xhtml/chunk.xsl>, or
locally in a package named something like "docbook-xsl".
AFAICT, configure only runs an xmllint test, so your download issues (at
that point) are likely related to the DTD, not the stylesheets.
