.pdf generation error using the "newer" tools

.pdf generation error using the "newer" tools

[Bill Brooks]

Okay,

I'm using the rpm's of the docbook tools. I did a clean install of RedHat
6.2, and followed the recommendation of the page at
http://i18n.kde.org/doc/install.html by de-installing the RPM's that ship
with RedHat and installing the following:

   docbook-dtd30-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd40-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd41-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-style-dsssl-1.57-2.noarch.rpm
   docbook-utils-0.5.5-1.noarch.rpm
   jade-1.2.1-6.i386.rpm
   jadetex-2.20-2.noarch.rpm
   perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-3.noarch.rpm
   sgml-common-0.3-1.noarch.rpm

I copied the simple "Hello World" example from
http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro/get-going.html#HELLO-WORLD
into a file called "helloworld.docbook". 

As people have mailed this list pointing out, the documentation on the
sources site is outdated, so I had to guess as to what flags would work
with the docbook utilities. Here's what I tried:

   docbook2pdf \
   ?  -c /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog \
   ?  -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57/print/docbook.dsl
   helloworld.docbook

Is this right? I'd be happy to mail Mark Galassi a patch to the
http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/ web page that documents how to
use the flags with the file locations where the RPM's put things if
someone can get me started on the right path.

Also, it seems like there is a problem actually producing a .pdf, here's
what I get:

   Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat,
   /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog
   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)


...are other people able to get this working?

You can find an updated and completed version of this tutorial at

	http://www.caldera.de/~eric/crash-course/HTML/index.html

It also has updated "hello world" examples in it.

The two -c and -d flags should not be necessary. But they ensure you use
"bare bones" Norman Walsh's stuff, and not our default stylesheet.

If you volunteer to update the web pages, to me you're welcome ;-).
Mark?

The 3.0 catalog has been auto-detected by the docbook-utils because
you're trying to render a 3.0 (outdated) document.
The 3.1 catalog is used because you specified it on the command line.
This tells you you should remove the "-c" argument that forces here to
use a wrong catalog.

TeX classical problem. The default configuration files do not allow
enough resources for docbook.

I think we have a corrected version on the web site. Attached is also a
patch we use at KDE.

Red Hat 7.0 PNG problem

[Peter Toft]

I wanted to try the new Red Hat 7.0 with the DocBook
tools in there - it seems that the db2html stuff is
working fine, but generating db2pdf jams, due to PNG
images:

Jade begin document sequence at 19
No file bog.aux.

Any clues on which package that is broken?

Okay, I tried it again by just using the docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
and still ran into some problems. Here's what I get with the same
helloworld document:

  docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
  Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat
  Using stylesheet:
  /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.5.5/docbook-utils.dsl#print
  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)

So it looks like the correct version of the DTD and stylesheets are
getting used for this document, but it can't get pdfTeX to even begin
generating a .pdf file.

Absolutely, I can either mail a patch to the existing web page or change
something in a CVS repository somewhere.

My texmf.cnf file is substantially different than yours so applying the
patch failed. Can you send the whole file? Thanks in advance.

Right. It's a TeX problem, not a DocBook problem.

Let's wait for Mark's answer.

The patch is not big and easy to read, so you can patch by hand. On the
contrary, if you get my file, it might break other things on your
machine.

No one of you seen that problem?

Can anyone help (guess) which package might be
broken. Which tool is used on Linux to convert png to
the format pdfjadetex can use?

here you are

db2html bug70.sgml -> no problem
db2ps bug70.sgml -> does run - but PS file is corrupted
db2pdf bug70.sgml -> crash and burn

--------

db2pdf output;

 
LaTeX Warning: Reference `TEST-FIG' on page 4 undefined
on input line 406.
 
[4.0.46]libpng error: Application must be
recompiled; version 1.0.6 was incompatible
 
Error: pdfjadetex (file
smallfig.png): png_create_read_struct() failed   

--------

It seems that the libpng-1.0.8-1.i386.rpm from RH7.0 is
broken or at least incompatible with pdfjadetex

(Note; normally I never attach files to lists - but this 
attachment is <7kb so I hope you are not offended by it)

Could you at the same time make the adjustments to the
TeTex settings, so the buffers for pdfjadetex are much
higher. Standard problem with raw RH 6.2
latex/sgmltools stuff I had. The current settings I use
(big books) are found at
http://www.sslug.dk/~pto/texmf.cnf

and it would be nice to have Danish commented in - not
out in the file
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat :-)

Are you still having trouble with this in Red Hat Linux 7?

In general it's best to put things like this in
bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla so they can be tracked.

Right. It's a TeX problem, not a DocBook problem.

The patch is not big and easy to read, so you can patch by hand. On the
contrary, if you get my file, it might break other things on your
machine.

You can find an updated and completed version of this tutorial at

	http://www.caldera.de/~eric/crash-course/HTML/index.html

It also has updated "hello world" examples in it.

The two -c and -d flags should not be necessary. But they ensure you use
"bare bones" Norman Walsh's stuff, and not our default stylesheet.

The 3.0 catalog has been auto-detected by the docbook-utils because
you're trying to render a 3.0 (outdated) document.
The 3.1 catalog is used because you specified it on the command line.
This tells you you should remove the "-c" argument that forces here to
use a wrong catalog.

TeX classical problem. The default configuration files do not allow
enough resources for docbook.

I think we have a corrected version on the web site. Attached is also a
patch we use at KDE.

No one of you seen that problem?

Can anyone help (guess) which package might be
broken. Which tool is used on Linux to convert png to
the format pdfjadetex can use?

Are you still having trouble with this in Red Hat Linux 7?

In general it's best to put things like this in
bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla so they can be tracked.

Thanks,

here you are

db2html bug70.sgml -> no problem
db2ps bug70.sgml -> does run - but PS file is corrupted
db2pdf bug70.sgml -> crash and burn

--------

db2pdf output;

 
LaTeX Warning: Reference `TEST-FIG' on page 4 undefined
on input line 406.
 
[4.0.46]libpng error: Application must be
recompiled; version 1.0.6 was incompatible

It seems that the libpng-1.0.8-1.i386.rpm from RH7.0 is
broken or at least incompatible with pdfjadetex

(Note; normally I never attach files to lists - but this 
attachment is <7kb so I hope you are not offended by it)

.pdf generation error using the "newer" tools

[Bill Brooks]

Okay,

I'm using the rpm's of the docbook tools. I did a clean install of RedHat
6.2, and followed the recommendation of the page at
http://i18n.kde.org/doc/install.html by de-installing the RPM's that ship
with RedHat and installing the following:

   docbook-dtd30-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd40-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-dtd41-sgml-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
   docbook-style-dsssl-1.57-2.noarch.rpm
   docbook-utils-0.5.5-1.noarch.rpm
   jade-1.2.1-6.i386.rpm
   jadetex-2.20-2.noarch.rpm
   perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-3.noarch.rpm
   sgml-common-0.3-1.noarch.rpm

I copied the simple "Hello World" example from
http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro/get-going.html#HELLO-WORLD
into a file called "helloworld.docbook". 

As people have mailed this list pointing out, the documentation on the
sources site is outdated, so I had to guess as to what flags would work
with the docbook utilities. Here's what I tried:

   docbook2pdf \
   ?  -c /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog \
   ?  -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.57/print/docbook.dsl
   helloworld.docbook

Is this right? I'd be happy to mail Mark Galassi a patch to the
http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/ web page that documents how to
use the flags with the file locations where the RPM's put things if
someone can get me started on the right path.

Also, it seems like there is a problem actually producing a .pdf, here's
what I get:

   Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat,
   /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog
   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)


...are other people able to get this working?

Okay, I tried it again by just using the docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
and still ran into some problems. Here's what I get with the same
helloworld document:

  docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
  Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat
  Using stylesheet:
  /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.5.5/docbook-utils.dsl#print
  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)

So it looks like the correct version of the DTD and stylesheets are
getting used for this document, but it can't get pdfTeX to even begin
generating a .pdf file.

Absolutely, I can either mail a patch to the existing web page or change
something in a CVS repository somewhere.

My texmf.cnf file is substantially different than yours so applying the
patch failed. Can you send the whole file? Thanks in advance.

Could you at the same time make the adjustments to the
TeTex settings, so the buffers for pdfjadetex are much
higher. Standard problem with raw RH 6.2
latex/sgmltools stuff I had. The current settings I use
(big books) are found at
http://www.sslug.dk/~pto/texmf.cnf

and it would be nice to have Danish commented in - not
out in the file
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat :-)
