When i've written a docbook file and want to turn it into pdf or what ever i run 'docbook2pdf myfile.docbook'. I get a lot of 'can't find' errors. The problem: The ent folder is missing from '/usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.2' Solution: run 'ln -sd /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/ent/ /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.2' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. docbook2{what ever} 2. 3. Actual Results: i get loads of can't find errors Expected Results: can't find errors should not be printed at all, which happens when you've ran the ln command above in my solution.
Please paste the complete output from the docbook2pdf command, and attach the input file you're using, so we can study the problem. Thanks.

Same issue here. Had to link 4.3 though. ln -sd /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.3/ent /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.2/
Sorry for the late reply. The problem seems to be that you're trying to use a toolchain designed for SGML documents with an XML document. You can either: a) Modify the DOCTYPE declaration to turn it into a SGML document: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN"> Then docbook2pdf should work. b) Use an XML toolchain (e.g. xmlto). Still, you'd have to fix the DOCTYPE declaration, since it's missing a URL. Using something like: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"> and then "xmlto pdf inputfile" should work (in theory). Unfortunately, the PDF backend is buggy and can give you some problems. Running the following commands manually might help: xsltproc -o tmp.fo http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl inputfile pdfxmltex tmp.fo mv tmp.pdf outputfile
