for some reason docbook doesn't accept the --add switch, it seems to interpret

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.
Regards,
Pierre
I miss quoted which package, it's docbook XSL Stylesheets
This was just a snippet of the attempted build, I should have removed the
slash before posting. When the entire command sequence produces the same
error. it doesn't like the --add switch. The file was created with
permissions 644. I may have to erase some directories and try this section,
and the related sections again.
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, ...)?
Regards
Pierre
No, copy/paste from book, however, this was across a 5 day period, and I
noticed 3 packages were upgraded though the LFS build during 2 days, so
others may have changed.
deleting both the /etc/xml/docbook and the xml directories solved the
problem, thanks to DJ Lucas for that.
