Thread: Issue installing doc tools on OSX
I had a problem installing the doc tools following the directions for OSX at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/docguide-toolsets.html. I'm running OSX Yosemite. I got it to work by changing the command from: sudo port install docbook-dsssl docbook-sgml-4.2 docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xsl libxslt openjade opensp To: sudo port install docbook-dsssl docbook-sgml-4.2 docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xsl libxslt opensp openjade I didn't capture the error message unfortunately, but it was more or less: unresolved dependency opensp while installing openjade. Patch is attached. -- - David Steele david@pgmasters.net

That seems a bit incredible, since port should be able to resolve the dependencies by itself. I suggest that this should be reported as a bug to MacPorts. Also note that the other listed packages are also not ordered in dependency order.

Sure, that has been my experience, but the error message was very clear.Unfortunately I did not capture the error beforeI changed the order and the log file was removed on the next run. Since I have no easy way to reproduce it I'm not sure it's worth submitting as a bug. However, I thought a reorder of the packages in our docs couldn't hurt, and might help. -- - David Steele david@pgmasters.net

How about uninstalling and reinstalling?

I just tried this on OS X 10.9.5 running MacPorts 2.3.3 and a ports tree as of a few minutes ago. The command After uninstalling docbook, opensp and openjade, re-installing them with sudo port install docbook-dsssl docbook-sgml-4.2 docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xsl libxslt openjade opensp completed without a hitch. It even logged ---> Computing dependencies for openjade ---> Dependencies to be installed: opensp BTW, why does the list of suggested packages include docbook-xml? I was under the impression that postgres used only the SGML version of docbook. And I previously only has the SGML version installed, and I'm pretty sure that I was able to build the documentation successfully. best regards, Florian Pflug
