fontconfig make errors in -current

I have just installed current into a new partition. I usually upgrade the font system as per Dugan Chen's page. I have modified the SlackBuilds somewhat, but as noted below, it should work. When I rebuilt fontconfig, I got the following:

Code:

...snipped

docbook2man -o devel-man local-fontconfig-devel.sgml && \

mv devel-man/manpage.refs func.refs && \

mv devel-man/*.3 . && \

rm -f devel-man/manpage.* && \

rmdir devel-man

grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]

grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]

jw: There is no frontend called "/docbook/utils-0.6.14/frontends/docbook".

make[2]: *** [func.refs] Error 2

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/fontconfig-2.8.0/doc'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/SBo/fontconfig-2.8.0'

make: *** [all] Error 2

There is a file
"/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.14/frontends/docbook"
The same SlackBuild works perfectly in a clean -13.1 install. I'm thinking of installing the package made in -13.1 into -current, but am not sure that is a good idea. Can anyone cast a little light into this darkness?

Start by tracing the grep error -I'm guessing it to be within the SlackBuild itself. If so, then change the syntax to what the error recommends.

Same error here just typing 'jw'. What package provides this Jade Wrapper?

edit: It seems to be grep. Tried using "POSIXLY_CORRECT=true export POSIXLY_CORRECT" and it fails with:

Yes. Downgrading grep to -2.5.4, from -13.1, stopped the error from popping up when running the "jw" command, plus my fontconfig.SlackBuild built perfectly. I'm going to reinstall grep-2.7 to see what else breaks with it.
Oh, "jw" is in linuxdoc-tools, if it still matters.

Thanks Bill,

I was able to compile fontconfig with '--disable-docs \', but it's only a workaround.

edit: This seem to fix docbook-utils (jw) error: http://www.mail-archive.com/pld-cvs-...msg232996.html

edit2: Yes! Fixed my Perl issues and the fontconfig was built without issues. Thanks again TSquaredF =]
