There's a bug in docbook-tools 0.6.14: If the directory containing the DocBook file to be processed has a space in it, the scripts will fail. I've attached a patch that fixes this bug. Basically, all I did was put quotes around shell variables. However, I did have to make a more substantial change: The SGML_FILE variable had to be factored out of SGML_ARGUMENTS so that it could be quoted. Could someone with commit rights please take a look at this patch and apply it? Thanks, Trevor
