i've DL'd (from
http://www.docbook.org/xml) xml catalogs on OSX,
cd /usr/local/share/docbook/xml
ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 16 root wheel 544 2008-12-21 15:46 4.5/
and created a catalog file,
cat /usr/local/etc/xml/catalog

checking, I find that 'catalog.xml' is missing from the 4.1.2 DL ...

which, i believe, explains the failure ...
for 'just' docbook usage, i understand that I caould simply switch to
one of the catalogs that validate correctly ... but, in building
"glib-2.19.2 --enable-gtk-doc ...", it specifically checks (and fails)
for v4.1.2,
...
dnl check for DocBook DTD and stylesheets in the local catalog.
JH_CHECK_XML_CATALOG([-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN],
[DocBook XML DTD V4.1.2],,enable_man=no)
JH_CHECK_XML_CATALOG([http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl],
[DocBook XSL Stylesheets],,enable_man=no)
fi
...
Checking with the glib 'folks', that version dependency can't be
changed -- and the claim is that the docbook DL's 'packaging' for
v4.1.2 is broken.
can this be fixed in the online source ? or, is ther something else wrong here?
Thanks.
