Thanks so much @schnecki for resolving the gnome-doc-utils dependency. Was able to build referencer again :-)

Needs to be rebuilt after recent boost-libs upgrade.

Thank you for the helpful comment @iwaka. I added the packages you suggested to the depends array.

I had to manually install the following AUR packages to have referencer install on my machine:

libgnome libgnome-data libbonobo orbit2 libgnomemm libbonoboui libgnomeui

Not sure if it's just me or if the package needs to be updated.

@davidmcinnis you are right. This is what I'm looking for. It would definately improve my 'workflow' and make things easier. The VM is a good idea and worth considering. I'll keep my Arch install for sure :P Thank you again so much for all the effort you put into my question. Best, nahno

@nahno: Sounds like you are talking about the list of tag check-boxes underneath the "this document" part of the "tag pane" . If so then my build of referencer also lacks your desired feature.

Your intuition about the feature being removed is probably correct. The linux.com article you linked to was published April 3, 2008. At that time Referencer 1.1.2 was the most recent version. My best guess the Developers of Referencer decided to remove the "this document" feature sometime between 2008 and the current 2014 release version 1.2.2.

I see you already asked the Developers to re-implement this Feature. Hopefully this feature will re-appear in the next version of Referencer.

I downloaded version 1.1.2 from http://snapshot.debian.org/package/referencer/ but the build failed because of library problems. You might be able to find an older version of Referencer on a different Linux Distribution than Arch-Linux. I've heard Debian is a good Distribution for running older software. You might consider using a Virtual Machine like VirtualBox so you can keep your Arch install :)

Best of luck,

-Dave

@davidmcinnis: it is not really a popup but more like a menu. And I'm sure it was implemented at some point. See the bottom left of this article's picture https://www.linux.com/news/keep-tabs-documents-referencer. However, if you look at the wikipedia picture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referencer it is missing and looks like my referencer. Thanks a lot for your help. I will try a feature request. Best

@nahno: Thank you for describing your problem. I am fairly certain the tags popup feature you describe is not implemented by the software. I suggest you make a feature request upstream at https://answers.launchpad.net/referencer

Hope this helps,

-Dave
