I don't know much about this stuff.

So, I there is the file /home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE\ 
dir/kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/dtd/kdex.dtd

meinproc is called like this:
../../bin/meinproc4 --stylesheet /home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE\ 
dir/kdelibs/kdoctools/docbook/xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl --check \
--srcdir=/home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE\  dir/kdelibs/kdoctools/ \
/home/alex/src/kde4-svn/KDE\  \
dir/kdelibs/doc/kbuildsycoca4/man-kbuildsycoca4.8.docbook

I guess the srcdir parameter should make meinproc find the kdex.dtd file in \
 this location, but it doesn't. I had a look at that one month ago, what I 
remember now is that there is somewhere a string created which uses spaces \
as  separator, and this tring is parsed somewhere in libxml, and I didn't \
find  (which doesn't have to mean a lot) support for escaping spaces in \
that  parsing code.

Any ideas ?

Alex
