I would appreciate it if you could help figuring out how to do this for MacPorts, since I'm not a MacPorts user. I'll figure out how to do this for Homebrew. Does something like: ``` ln -s /opt/local/etc/xml/catalog /etc/xml/catalog ``` ... work for you? Does your: ``` xsltproc --help ``` ... also say that it uses /etc/xml/catalog path by default? -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
