Problem in running htmldoc
 

Hi folks,

FreeBSD 5.2

I have 'htmldoc' running which I suppose was installed at the time of installing the OS. But I could not start it (GUI)

# which htmldoc
/usr/local/bin/htmldoc

# /usr/local/bin/htmldoc [ENTER]
ERROR: No HTML files!

I am not aware whether htmldoc was compiled against libraries of Fast Light Tookit

http://www.fltk.org/

# pkg_info | grep -i fast\*
no printout

# pkg_info | grep -i FLTK
no printout

I tried using command line to combine html files without result

# htmldoc -f /path/to/output.ps --webpage /path/to/*.html
ERR014: Image on page 1 too large - truncation or overlapping may occur!
ERR014: Table on page 3 too wide - truncation or overlapping may occur!
ERR014: Image on page 3 too large - truncation or overlapping may occur!
PAGES: 3
ERR012: Unable to open output file - No such file or directory

It failed.

There is no mailing list/discussion forum on
http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/

Any advice? TIA

Have you tried a very simple .html page to see what happens?
