I have exactly the same problem as Bill Brooks, and the suggested fix doesn't work. > Using stylesheet: > /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57/print/docbook.dsl > Working on: /home/wbrooks/box/work/foo/helloworld.docbook > This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1) > (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) Éric Bischoff responded: TeX classical problem. The default configuration files do not allow enough resources for docbook. I believe Eric's response is correct, but his patch to texmf.cnf doesn't solve the problem since it updates only the jadetex parameters which are already generous on Redhat 6.2 and not the critical pdfjadetex ones. On my other box (running Debian potato where I do not have this problem with pdfjadetex) I have the following jadetex and pdfjadtex parameters. grep 'jadetex =' texmf.cnf TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{jadetex,plain,generic,}// pool_size.jadetex = 500000 pool_size.pdfjadetex = 500000 string_vacancies.jadetex = 45000 string_vacancies.pdfjadetex = 45000 max_strings.jadetex = 58500 max_strings.pdfjadetex = 58500 pool_free.jadetex = 47500 pool_free.pdfjadetex = 47500 nest_size.jadetex = 500 nest_size.pdfjadetex = 500 param_size.jadetex = 1504 param_size.pdfjadetex = 1504 save_size.jadetex = 10000 save_size.pdfjadetex = 10000 stack_size.jadetex = 1503 stack_size.pdfjadetex = 1503 extra_mem_bot.jadetex = 85000 extra_mem_bot.pdfjadetex = 8500 On my RH 6.2 box with exactly the same XML Cygnus system as Bill (where I do have the pdfjadetex problem) the parameters are grep 'jadetex =' texmf.cnf TEXINPUTS.jadetex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{jadetex,plain,generic,}// TEXINPUTS.pdfjadetex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{jadetex,plain,generic,}// hash_extra.jadetex = 25000 pool_size.jadetex = 750000 max_strings.jadetex = 55000 save_size.jadetex = 15000 So all the jadextex parameters that Eric recommended updating are already quite generous on RH 6.2, but there are no pdfjadetex parameters at all so I presume that takes the small default which causes the "I am stymied" problem. I will now copy the Debian parameters that work for pdfjadetex to texmf.cnf on my RedHat box, but I don't know how to proceed from there. Is there some command I run to reconfigure everything to use the new parameters? Alan email: irwin@beluga.phys.uvic.ca phone: 250-727-2902 FAX: 250-721-7715 snail-mail: Dr. Alan W.
