I see this problem all the time and though it should be fixed in the
Makefiles the easy fix is to just do a:

touch /usr/src/lihgnome-2.1.90/doc/reference/html/index.sgml

and start the install again.  Basicly it is not generating the
index.sgml file (perhaps because --disable-gtk-doc is used in garnome
though I could be wrong) and some of the packages don't relize this when
they install.
