As a belated followup, I'm now able to get at least postgres-A4.pdf to build successfully on this Ubuntu 10.10 machine (I haven't tried postgres-US.pdf yet.). There have been a fair number of system updates in the past few months, including some recent ones related to texlive I noticed the other day. Hopefully the stars will stay aligned, but I'll keep an eye out against this stuff breaking again. Here's a summary of the Ubuntu packages I have installed now, with version numbers from 'apt-cache show packagename': * docbook 4.5-4 * docbook-dsssl 1.79-6 * docbook-xsl 1.75.2+dfsg-5 * openjade1.3 1.3.2-10 * xsltproc 1.1.26-6 Thanks for all the help, Tom.
