Not sure what is going on. You could try to test xmlcatalog by issuing (as user): cd /tmp xmlcatalog --noout --create catalog xmlcatalog --noout --add public something somethingelse catalog (replace something and somethingelse with whatever you'd like, the content is not important, this is a test, not building a functional catalog file) If that works, just rm /tmp/catalog. And try (as root): xmlcatalog --noout --add public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"; /etc/xml/docbook (all on the same line, in case the mailer add a linebreak at some point) If this does not work, inspect the content of /etc/xml/docbook. It should look like the examples on http://www.xmlsoft.org/catalog.html BTW, are you deviating from/adding to the book in some way (using a package manager, changing owners of files after install, ...)?
