I just tested it again and here it doesn't fail. It just reports that
rst2html is not found but configure continues, simply creating the HTML
variant of the docs is disabled.
But this is nothing critical.

What I missed to mention earlier, the rst2html[.py] tool is probably in
a package called python-docutils or just docutils or something similar.
Depends on the distribution you are using but you didn't mention which
it is.

This is something different. First, you just talked about rst2html
[.py]. And as long as you won't say which packages are/were missing,
I'm afraid nobody can help you.

Enrico
