Error in character class syntax in jw

Error in character class syntax in jw

[Martin Sekerák]

Hello,
it seems that there is an error in "jw", when executing (for example):
docbook2html EXAMPLE.sgml
the following error appears:
grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]
grep: character class syntax is [[:space:]], not [:space:]
jw: There is no frontend called "/docbook/utils-0.6.14/frontends/docbook".
and the command fails, as grep produces nothing that sed could consume
in a satisfactory way.

I suggest that the character class syntax be changed in bin/jw.in,
perhaps like this:

diff --recursive --show-c-function '--unified=3' original/bin/jw.in
fixed/bin/jw.in

 then

 fi

I hope you can make something out of my description...
What do you think of the idea? Do you also happen to get the same error?
