Hi all,
We're trying to use mathml for some equations in some of our xml docs
but we keep getting 'failed to load external entities' errors.
mathmldb.dtd is installed locally but it doesn't seem to matter.
Is it not possible to embed mathml within a docbook (book or article)
file? Does it need to be its own file and then xincluded?
The doctype def is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book
PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook MathML Module V1.0//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/mathml/1.0/dbmathml.dtd";>
<book id="xkbproto">
...
<informalequation>
<mml:math>
<mml:msup>
<mml:mfenced>
<mml:mi>a</mml:mi>
<mml:mo>+</mml:mo>
<mml:mi>b</mml:mi>
</mml:mfenced>
<mml:mn>2</mml:mn>
</mml:msup>
</mml:math>
</informalequation>
... which caused the following validation errors:
$ make

Notes in libxml2 site point that "failed to load external entity" refers
to a misconfigured XML Catalog, which I tried to fix installing two other
packages...
docbook-mathml
w3-dtd-mathml
... and setting XML_DEBUG_CATALOG=1 before building, according to [1].
The environment variable set causes the build to output many more lines,
being these the most relevant:

Do you guys have any suggestions?
