What repository are you using? What is the *exact* error? I'm only building the docs as `giorgos' here, which isn't `root'. > once i su to root, i can checkout but get errors when make as you see > in my previous attachment. Try running script(1) to log everything in a file: : # script /tmp/giorgos.log : Script started, output file is /tmp/giorgos.log : # At this shell prompt, type everything you do to build the docs, as long as `env' to let me see what your shell environment contains: : # env : [lots of output] Then after the doc build fails (if it does fail), exit the shell. : # exit : exit : : Script done, output file is /tmp/giorgos.log and post the file `/tmp/giorgos.log' to me. > i have changed from local language to english now. Many thanks :)
