If you re still having problems building the documentation, you'll
have to post a full log of the build to let people know what went
wrong.  Start with a clean /usr/doc copy that you haven't modified at
all.  If you are downloading the documentation through CVSup, the most
reliable way to do this is:

	# cd /usr
	# rm -fr doc
	# mkdir doc
	# cvsup -h cvsup10.freebsd.org share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile

This is bound to take a while, but it's the only way to be sure that
you are running a build on a clean copy of /usr/doc if you haven't
kept a backup copy of the /usr/doc tree before.

The next step should be easy to guess.  You keep a backup copy of the
clean /usr/doc tree:

	# cd /usr
	# tar cvf - doc | gzip -9c - > doc.tgz

This way, if you ever need to return to a clean version of the docs,
you can simply:

	# cd /usr/doc
	# rm -fr doc
	# tar xzvf doc.tgz

Then use script(1) and keep a log file of the entire build that is
failing.  Post the log file either to the freebsd-doc list, or
personally to me.

Giorgos.
