Maybe this will turn up on a Google for "docbook debian". Here's what worked for me on Debian 3.0: as root: apt-get install docbook apt-get install docbook-dsssl apt-get install sp apt-get install openjade as user: $ export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=\ "/usr/share/sgml/OpenJade/catalog:/usr/share/sgml/entities/sgml-iso-entities-8879.1986/catalog" $ openjade \ -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/docbook.dsl \ -t sgml \ test.sgml Where test.sgml is a simple sgml source file taken from here: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-docbk.html#h5 TDG gave excellent clues about where to find the style sheets. http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/appa.html I got the style sheets (docbook-dsssl) directly from Sourceforge and unpacked them in my user dir. �Then I became aware of what apt-get install docbook-dsssl had done (duh). http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/ TDG was pretty good about mentioning that I needed to define the environment variable SGML_CATALOG_FILES. �I used trial/error method to find the catalogs that helped. I am now able to regenerate my DocBook source into HTML. �SGML, XML, and DSSSL are now FM instead of PFM. -- Mike Mueller -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
