Any hints?
I can't help with the first problem (load failure), but maybe I can help
with the second (undefined entity). I don't know anything about BoostBook,
so I'm guessing based on what little I know about XML....
Unlike HTML, XML doesn't really pre-define any entities. That includes the
" " entity, so that's why you're getting an error. You need to include
a DTD that defines what " " means. If the "boostbook.dtd" file does
that already, then my advice was useless because your second error was just
a cascade error from the first. (I didn't see a semicolon at the end of the
" " line; if your display didn't cut if off, maybe that was the
problem.)
There is a semicolon in the actual file. It was just cut off here.
BTW, the only entities pre-defined in XML are the ones needed for escaping
various parts of XML parsing: "<", ">", """, "'", and
"&".
Right. I think this is a Boost Build problem alright. The
failure to load *IS* the problem AFAICT.
