Dang! This I'll look into... (psgmlx is my fault - I'm the author/maintainer/...)

Oops. That'd be me. (mjohnson at redhat.com or mrj at debian.org) I need to rebuild
the site as the mark at duke.edu is no longer valid.

Weird. I've never had the thing die like that before. (/me wonders if he broke
something in the last update...)

I'll do a test install on my debian machine later today and see if I can figure
out why the byte-compiling died. Will certainly post back anything I discover.

Thanks for the error output - very useful.

(mrj downloads psgmlx & takes a quick look at the situation...)

Taking a quick glance, looks like simply deleting the psgml-xpointer.el file (as
a quick kludge) should fix it, as that's the file that's getting mad about a
missing dependency file. Try deleting the file and rerunning the test/compile
script.

Lemme know what happens.

Cheers,
Mark
