A quick search suggests that other people are seeing similar errors. I
definitely have access to the internet and am doing this from home.
Also, a wget from a different shell (cygwin) succeeds for that file.

Is there some tool I have failed to install that is needed?

No tool but you need whatever package supplies `htmlhelp.xsl`.

Or you can remove the "--nonet" option which is what is preventing it from trying to get the file off the 'net (there was recently some discussion--but no resolution that I'm aware of--of the wiseness of using "--nonet").
