I somehow suspect that your docbook DTDs are broken in some way, which would make this exactly the same problem as #26151.

sweet, a hypothesis. how would i test, and fix if it's true?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

To test, compare your XML catalog to that of someone who doesn't have the problem I guess. Fix, no idea.

Just so I don't open a duplicate ticket, is this the same issue I'm seeing (not clear from above):

If so, all I've done is try a sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade outdated.

The syntax error my output refers to is in an xml file, not a python file. So it's not the same symptom, but it might be the same cause.

[guillaumesalagnac]

This is indeed a python issue: this makedocs.py script is written for python2.X, so running it using a python 3.X causes syntax errors. ​source

To work around the problem, run sudo /opt/local/bin/python_select python26-apple and then libzzip will build fine.

I've got no idea about how this "bug" (because that's what it is) could be fixed in macports though.

Cheers, -G

PS: also, the title for this page has to be changed, as this problem has nothing to do with xml stuff at all...

Hi Guillaume, thanks for the info. The python selected on my system has been macports python26, not 3.X, but I tried your suggestion anyway: ran python_select python26-apple && port clean libzzip && port install libzzip and got the same error as in the main.log I attached, so this didn't help in my case. Any other ideas?

[jabronson@…]

Just thought I'd highlight the portion of the log relevant to the error I'm getting:

From main.log#L821​ (starting with line 821):

:info:build /opt/local/bin/xmlto -o man3 man zziplib.xml
:info:build xmlto: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_libzzip/work/zziplib-0.13.59/Darwin_10.5.0_i386.d/docs/zziplib.xml does not validate (status 3)
:info:build xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option

So this does look like it has something to do with xml stuff.

Ooops, my bad. I had just skimmed through the page and not read the attachements. What I understand is that this ticket is actually documenting two problems: your original problem, and a second one, reported by deesto, which I was also experiencing.

Sorry for the confusion (though my workaround at least solves "half" of the ticket :-) and good luck for your bug.

#26151 is reopened.
