Found the problem... somehow... sgml-tools-1.0.9-5 had gotten installed on my system... probably while I was mucking around trying to get stuff to work... I removed it along with everything else and reinstalled only the rpm's you've referenced here and everything works fine... FYI... the reason I'm trying to get this going again (Ed... I'll bet you recall that I did have it going once before :-) is that I'm planning to write a simple doc describing how to install and use docbook on Linux to create real documents... I apologize to the sgml gods in advance 'cause I don't know squat about sgml but I've created quite a few doc's using the docbook tools and that's what I'm going to talk about! I should have an initial version up in a few days... when the first draft is ready it will appear at: http://linuxguru.com/docs/docbook/ BTW... it you check there now you will find the following: Index of /docs/docbook Name Last modified Size Description Parent Directory 09-Jul-2000 10:42 - RPMS/ 09-Jul-2000 11:07 - SRPMS/ 09-Jul-2000 11:07 - sources/ 09-Jul-2000 11:06 - Where you will find the stuff that Ed has referenced above all in one place! :-) -- Chuck Mead, CTO, LinuxMall.com csm@LinuxMall.com GnuPG Public Key Available: http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/
