I can duplicate this problem with iputils, but have not yet discovered the exact cause.<br><br>net-misc/iputils-20060512.ebuild fails here: <br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">if use doc &amp;&amp; type -p docbook2html ; then 
<br></div><div style="margin-left: 80px;">emake -j1 html man || die<br></div><br>with this error: <br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">make[1]: *** [arping.html] Error 8 <br>make: *** [html] Error 2<br></div><br>Running `make html` outside of the ebuild also fails.
<br><br>Directly running docbook2html like this works correctly:<br>docbook2html /usr/portage/distfiles/iputils-s20060512/doc/index.db<br><br>The INSTALL note in the iputils tarball reads:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
But if &quot;make html&quot; fails too, check that DocBook package is installed<br>on your machine. If it is installed, and nevertheless &quot;make&quot; does not work,<br>delete iputils and go to sleep. The next day repeat. If even full reset
<br>did not help, I bring apologies. :-)<br></div><br>This note leads me to believe that upstream expects this to fail some <br>times but is either unsure of how to fix it or unwilling to fix it.&nbsp; I suspect<br>the problem is in how make is using docbook2html, but I did not get 
<br>that far in my troubleshooting.<br><br>I have not tried more recently tarballs to see if the problem still exists.<br><br>Regards,<br>Jason Smathers<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/13/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
