Following Stuart's advise, the error I am presented with is:

warning: failed to load external entity

Presumably this is related to the recent trouble's SourceForge has
been having. I _do_ have the docbook 1.76.1, which
/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/epub.xsl assures me will be preferred. I do
not have any epub/docbook.xsl bundled with my local docbook, however.

The URL is fine. I've just successfully built the adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.epub on stock Xubuntu 10.04 with AsciiDoc 8.6.3 so the problem has to be something to do with your stylesheets or stylesheets catalog configuration. Can you generate PDF? i.e.

a2x -v -fpdf adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

Or is it just EPUB that's the problem?

BTW, the a2x -fepub -dbook options are redundant, all the correct options are included in the adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt source file header so this is all that's required to generate EPUB is:

a2x adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt


Cheers, Stuart




Is 1.76.1 too old?

No, I use 1.75.2 on Xubuntu 10.04.

I am new to asciidoc and am unable to build epub files from the
document sources available on the website. For this discussion I am
using the Sherlock Holmes text from here:
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/publishing-ebooks-with-asciidoc.html#X3

When I issue the following command:

a2x -fepub -dbook adventures-of-sherlock-holmes.txt

I receive:

a2x: ERROR: xsltproc --stringparam part.autolabel 0 --stringparam

returned non-zero exit status 5

How might I debug this? I am using asciidoc 8.6.3.

$ man xsltproc

1. Look under DIAGNOSTICS section: exit code 5 = Error in the stylesheet

2. Cut an paste the failing xsltproc command and include the xsltproc
--verbose option to get an idea of where the stylesheets are failing.
