Re: Help with RefDB build errors

Oops. Of course, I spent hours on this the other day, and then solved it 
immediately after sending this email.

I was missing the docbook-xsl package. Then I got more errors and 
installed the fop package. Then more and installed sgrep.

Then I ran make and sudo make install which appear to have 
completed without errors.

Sorry for the false alarm.
