Hi Dave, Those commands are not specific to docbook: xmlcatalog is an utility installed with libxml2. Normally those command should succeed. There are two possibilities for failure I can think of (and certainly many others I am unable to figure out ;): - the /etc/xml/docbook file is not created, or created with wrong permissions, so that it cannot be written to. - something is wrong with the command (space after "\" at the end of a line is a classic)... You can also try to debug the command by adding -v after --noout.
