xmlto problems

[Boey Maun Suang]

Hi Brad,

Your output says that it's looking for an SGML catalog file, and the  
docbook-xsl port only installs an XML catalog file; the former format  
is deprecated and not as easy to manipulate with standard tools.

I'm not sure what's going on here; could you be able to attach a copy  
of the XML file that you're trying to PDF so that I can see if I can  
reproduce the problem?

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
