I am really sorry but I can't figure out how to build that thing, and before I 
do that I can't test the doc generation.

On top of that, the pdf_appendices option is currently []. Was that so when it 
failed? If not, please post what was in it.

A test case would be the best thing you can provide, but if not, please post a 
step-by-step way to reproduce the bug, please.

Hi Roberto,

If you clone that repository and cd into the docs subdirectory under it, you 
should be able to build the pdf by issuing 'make pdf'.

Again, I was using the latest head of Sphinx in combination with the latest 
trunk of rst2pdf -- maybe too bleeding edge...

I get lots and lots of these:

    las = ctypes.CDLL(lib_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 353, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: liblas_c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ok, after installing blas I kinda get it running (gives only a few errors).

It doesn't fail with an error on the appendices but your cover looks really 
broken.

This is with sphinx 1.0.7 and rst2pdf from SVN.

A note: you will need to specify the base URL (remember PDFs can only contain 
absolute URLs)

Ok, it must be related to the latest Sphinx then.  I tested with the older 
sphinx and it works fine.  Thanks for digging into this.

As far as I can see, 1.0.7 is the latest sphinx. Or you mean sphinx from trunk?

I don't track pre-release sphinx because it tends to break rst2pdf all the time 
:-(

This issue now breaks rst2pdf with the latest version of Sphinx (1.1.2).
