Hi,
I am trying to convert my .sgml document to these other formats.
I have the DocBook tools from Cygnus:
jade-1.2.1-3
jadetex-2.7-0
sgml-common-0.1-2
docbook-3.1-5
stylesheets-0.10-2
I also have tetex-0.9-6
I get the following error messages:
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2pdf tronlineDOC.sgml
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl"
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-0.12h (Web2C 7.2)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2ps tronlineDOC.sgml
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl"
OUTPUT FILE NAME IS tronlineDOC.dvi
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
This is dvips(k) 5.78 Copyright 1998 Radical Eye Software
(www.rad icaleye.com)
dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened.
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2dvi tronlineDOC.sgml
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl"
OUTPUT FILE NAME IS tronlineDOC.dvi
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$jade -d
/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygn us-both.dsl -t tex
tronlineDOC.sgml > tronlineDOC.tex
results in a "proper" tronlineDOC.tex file , but then :
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$jadetex tronlineDOC.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"db2rtf" and "db2html" work O.K.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks a lot.
Howard

Thanks for the reply, but I do not know what " texmf.cnf" is :-(
I obtained the tools as binary RPM's from :
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/docbook-tools/docware/
where there are "red-hat-5/" and "RPMS" directories. I have Red Hat 5.0.
Can you or anyone else provide more guidance relative to the error
messages you see below ?

This happened to me when I installed the RH6.0 rpms onto a RH5.2 system. To fix it I removed the 6.0 and installed the 5.2 rpms available from the same place. I believe the problems were library related.
Also, if you do use the RH5.2 rpms, you will have to mess about with texmf.cnf (I think)
