1729	Gnumeric HTML creation is partially broken	Randy McMurchy	blfs-book@…	"The Gnumeric page contains the following command and associated text:

""If you have GNOME Doc Utils-0.4.4 installed, you can convert the XML help
files into HTML with the following command:

make -C doc html""

This command will *only* work if your $GNOME_PREFIX is /usr. If $GNOME_PREFIX
is set to anything else, the command will fail. The reason being is that the
Makefile in the gnumeric-1.6.1/doc/C directory uses $PREFIX/share to point
to the GNOME Doc Utils support files. Of course, it will fail if GNOME Doc
Utils was not installed with PREFIX of /usr.

There are two things I can think of (not just to fix Gnumeric, but for any
and all packages that may expect GNOME Doc Utils to be in /usr) to fix this
issue.

1) Change the installation prefix of GNOME Doc Utils to /usr. This is 
probably the preferred (and easiest) solution to implement. There is precedent
of installing some GNOME packages in /usr. See the GNOME Icon Theme package.

Additionally, because files are being installed into $PREFIX/share/xml,
which must already exist before GNOME Doc Utils is installed, it seems
logical to install GNOME Doc Utils there (it creates a 'gnome' directory
off of $PREFIX/share/xml).

2) This works, but should only be used if it is determined that GNOME Doc
Utils should stay in $GNOME_PREFIX.

Create a symlink /usr/share/xml/gnome which points to
GNOME_PREFIX/share/xml/gnome. This would then allow packages expecting to
see GNOME Doc Utils in the BLFS conventional /usr directory to work."	defect	closed	high		BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
