Re: 0.8.5 Compile errors

[John Darrington]

A couple of people have reported this.

The proximate cause is that your version of xmllint doesn't understand the 
--xpath option.

There are two possible solutions:

1. Upgrade xmllint.  I use  version 20901 and that works for me.

2. In your Makefile, delete the 4 lines:

       $(AM_V_at)cat doc/help-pages-list | while read node ; do \
         $(XMLLINT) --xpath "$$node" $@,tmp > /dev/null; \
         if test $$? -ne 0 ; then  echo "$$node does not appear in $@" ; exit 
1; fi ; \
         done


I do confess that I am confused why people have encountered this.   I thought 
it was something
that only developers should ever have to concern themselves with.  If you have 
built directly
from a released tarball, and not modified anything, then this issue shuld have 
never arisen.

Did you modify and of the .texi files in the doc directory ?

     There error seems exactly the same as was reported before. It???s near the 
end, apparently during the doc build. Here???s the last part:

     Since xmllint was reported as a possible issue in August, I checked and it 
is on my system. Here is that info and some system info:
     
     address@hidden v7.0 pspp-0.8.5]$ xmllint --version
     xmllint: using libxml version 20901

     address@hidden v7.0 pspp-0.8.5]$ uname --all

22:06:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     
     
     pspp-0.8.4 builds for me without incident.
     
     A possible clue: I am using ???./configure ???without-cairo???, which 
Daniel also reported that he was using. Maybe that has something to do with it?
     
     Thanks for any thoughts on this. It isn???t particularly urgent for me, 
since I can live with 0.8.4.
