Is docbook2x-man called something else in mate?

[mimosa]

Trying to compile something, I got a command not found error for the above tool. My research suggested it is part of gnome-doc-utils, so I installed mate-doc-utils. But the error still occurs.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

The makefile uses a variable to call it, which suggests it may sometimes go by a different name.

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get --se docbook
abiword-2.8.6-i486-2gv [inst=no]: abiword (word processing for everyone)
linuxdoc-tools-0.9.66-i486-8 [inst=no]: linuxdoc-tools (utilities for working with DocBook and SGML)

So

Code: Select all

root[rich]# slapt-get -i linuxdoc-tools

Thanks laprjns. I'm not sure whether the equivalent tool in that bundle (sgml2txt) does quite the same thing, although the manpage gives a good hint about what to try if not. I'm not sure because I'm still having trouble compiling, presumably for some unrelated reason, so I can't just do man foo to test.

It would still be of interest to track down docbook2x-man, or establish that it really doesn't exist.
