Ubuntu 8.4 works for me, but RHEL4 has unrelated errors and has never
built Sphinx docs for me.

One way I've fixed these errors (manually) in the past is to change the
ordering of the \usepackage{} statements. I wonder if you move the
"ams" ones above everything else if that fixes things. If so hopefully
we can submit a patch to sphinx to allow putting the custom preamble
earlier.
Barring that, I suppose we'll have to a) drop the symbol table or b) use
mathtext to generate the math for LaTeX (there's something very
patricidal about that... ;). b) may be a little bit of work to do well,
since we don't currently have a way to get a nice tightly-bound PDF of a
math expression, and embedding PNGs will look bad.
Cheers,
Mike
