Hi folks

I tried to install the open source package "GEDIT".

It needed a Tex package, and a Tex installation, what I did download. 
But then it needs "style sheets" (whatever that may be)

It crashed during ./autogen.sh with missing xslt-stylesheets.

So, I cloned
git clone https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets.git

OK

Bu then it says it needs perl package xml-xpath. I figured out that issuing
sudo apt-get install libxml-xpath-perl

would fix that.

Then it needed to read a file called .xmlc. After an houro so searching 
I came to see an invisible fdirectory in the download of xstyle-sheets 
called ".trevis" and ythere I found a xmlc file. I copied that to my 
home directory and the script went a little bit further.

A package called "xerces" was needed. I found that and wen further.
I installed then a package that is called "saxon", that asked for money.
Happily there is a free version, but apparently it will not work.

   1 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

I wanted to study Gedit because I want to write an editor and I thought 
that I could learn it by studying the "gedit" source code, that is 
advertised as an editor written in C.

Why a C program will need java/perl/xml/ etc is beyond me.

Why the documentation is mandatory? Why do I need all those megabytes of 
different languages to compile a C-GTK based editor?

Mystery.

If anyone can tell me how to proceed I would be thankful.

Thanks in advance

Jacob
