Hi, currently kdelibs doesn't build if the source dir contains spaces: man-checkXML.1.docbook:4: warning: failed to load external entity "dtd/kdex.dtd" strace says the following: stat64("/home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE", 0xbfcf68ec) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("dir/kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/catalog", 0xbfcf68ec) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) This is obviously wrong and should be: stat64("/home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE\ dir/kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/catalog", ... ) So, is libxml actually able to deal with paths which contains spaces ? Or are we just forgetting somewhere to escape some paths ? (libxml docs seem to say that separators are the colon and spaces, which doesn't sound good...) Alex
