To build the manual, yes, in my experience. Builds without the manual work fine. I've also had problems building the manual (with similar errors) multithreaded. Are you passing any `-j` flags to `make`? Try saying `make -j1` just to be sure. Richard On May 27, 2014, at 8:53 AM, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:

I've gotten similar errors when my network connection is acting up -- I think DocBook goes out to the web to download the schema for GHC's manual. When it fails to find the schema, the errors below happen. Have you tried again? Maybe the source for the schema (sourceforge, from the looks of it) was offline for a moment.

Perhaps adding --nonet to the xsltproc command line is in order.

It's already there. If the build is doing anything on the 'net, it should definitely be looked into and fixed! $ grep -C 5 nonet rules/docbook.mk $$(call removeTrees,$$(dir $$@)) "$$(XSLTPROC)" --stringparam base.dir $$(dir $$@) \ --stringparam use.id.as.filename 1 \ --stringparam html.stylesheet fptools.css \ --nonet \ $$(XSLTPROC_LABEL_OPTS) $$(XSLTPROC_OPTS) \ $$(XSLTPROC_HTML_STYLESHEET) \ $1/$2.xml cp mk/fptools.css $$(dir $$@) Thanks Ian
