I got a line with "met.dtd". Nothing in front of it.

So I copied the files of the MET directory to the Install Directory.
Then gnubg finds the MET.

Build 031012 did OK with the directory structure as it was, that is:
MET files in the subdirectory MET.

For some reason, since 031013, matchequity.c can't validate /met or
./met.

I checked the config.h (one never knows): it's the same.
I compiled the 031012 sources again.
I started over with a clean CVS source.

At the moment, copying the /met content to ./ does the job.
But that's no nice solution.
