[csw-maintainers] Issues with openjade when compiling glib 1.3.15

[Ben Walton]

Excerpts from Dagobert Michelsen's message of Wed May 13 09:46:47 -0400 2009:

Hi Dago,

Those variables set sane defaults for programs to look in for files
(stylesheets of various types, catalogs, dtds, etc).  So yes, if the
file exists, exporting them should be fine.  I would also use
SGML_CATALOG_DIR to build SGML_CATALOG_FILES (which solved the glib
issue for you).

There should always be a base catalog when that file exists, but its
existence doesn't mean that the required stylesheets or dtds are
installed.  Hopefully programs can use the catalog to determine this
and present reasonable errors if they don't have what they need.

Thanks
-Ben
