Yep, I saw that, but I was hoping it had something todo with certain
character sets not available on my laptop...

I tried it here on the 1.8 branch too, but that one is not working either.

Ok, that problem I had on the QGIS server also. Apparently I have
another shell or find on my laptop. Instead of
	find -name "*.png" -exec ebb -x {} \; \
You need:
	find -name "*.png" -exec ebb -x {} +; \
(this creates bbx files for every png in that dir).

Please try again.

You can also just run the commands yourself (after the sphinx-build -b
latex step):

cd output/latex/ru
find -name "*.png" -exec ebb -x {} +
platex -interaction=batchmode QGISUserGuide.tex
platex -interaction=batchmode QGISUserGuide.tex
platex -interaction=batchmode QGISUserGuide.tex

NOTE: this is the way the japanese docs are working, I tried that one
because both ja and ru were not working on laptop OR server.

You can also try the 'normal' pdf workflow:
cd output/latex/ru
texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex
texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex
texi2pdf --quiet QGISUserGuide.tex

If you are able to run one of above ways, there is something you have on
you laptop which I do not have ...

But mainproblem is to be able to run it every night on our server...

Anyway.

Thanks,
