I'm assuming you are using version 4.5.55.  You should try version 
4.6.0-pre1 or the latest snapshot.  This problem was fixed by removing 
doc-gnome directory.

This bug was also fixed after 4.5.55 and before 4.6.0-pre1.

This still doesn't work and I don't think it will ever work.

I remember seeing similar reports about failures in the "doc-gnome"  
directory.
