I'm new to the list and if this has been covered earlier I apologize. I haven't been on a mailing list in a very long time (try Windows 95 mailing list) and I'm just not seeing an easy way to search the archives - apologies if it's right in plain view. Ran port install gnome and things were chugging merrily along but I've run into an error I just don't know how to fix or work around... port install choked on gnome-applets with the following error messages... ---> Building gnome-applets with target all [ cut ] Making all in geyes Making all in themes Making all in docs xsltproc -o geyes-C.omf --stringparam db2omf.basename geyes --stringparam db2omf.format 'docbook' --stringparam db2omf.dtd "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" --stringparam db2omf.lang C --stringparam db2omf.omf_dir "/opt/local/share/omf" --stringparam db2omf.help_dir "/opt/local/share/gnome/help" --stringparam db2omf.omf_in "`pwd`/./geyes.omf.in" `/opt/local/bin/pkg-config --variable db2omf gnome-doc-utils` C/geyes.xml db2omf: Could not construct the OMF maintainer element.

I just assumed that if I ran install gnome it would install things in the proper order by itself. Also, what exactly is a "roles attribute" and where would I add it in the geyes.xml file in each of the language subdirectories? Or, better yet is there an easy edit, say to the docs Makefile, that would get me around this? Any suggestions or instructions will be greatly appreciated (even rtfm as long as i'm told exactly which fm to r). :-) If it's important, this is on a macbook pro. thanks, mark ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.
