Building with texlive/dblatex does work (I didn't say otherwise). My 
problem comes when I don't have them.

I don't have the computer I did the building in at hand (it is not mine). 
I remember I tried:

- To modify the script so it had --enable-documentation=no (instead of 
parsing a variable for achieving the same result).
- To run ./configure by hand in the source code with the flag above.

In every occasion, it complained because it lacked dependencies - which I 
tracked to be documentation building tools. Installing texlive/dblatex 
solved the problem.

Maybe that points to the problem, but I would have to check it out.
