with sgmtools but if it create an empty output file saying something like 
/usr/bin/openjade:<OSFD>0:1:25:W: cannot generate system identifier for document
type "LINUXDOC"
/usr/bin/openjade:<OSFD>0:1:25:E: reference to entity "LINUXDOC" for which no
system identifier could be generated

Please attach the subject file you're using (linuxdoc_document.sgml) so we can
study the problem.

Created attachment 62884 [details]
A simple file that doesn't compile.

Thank you for your feedback. While I was looking into this, I ended up
discovering other bugs in other packages that were causing problems when
creating PDF files with sgmltools.

As far as sgmltools-lite goes, our ebuild didn't install the linuxdoc catalog,
only the catalog for its dsssl stylesheets. That should be fixed for
sgmltools-lite-3.0.3-r9, please emerge that version and try again.

Also, in case you have one or more versions of docbook-sgml-dtd installed,
please upgrade them so their SGML catalogs don't break the processing of your
linuxdoc files. Finally, to create PDF files, make sure you emerge
sgmltools-lite with the 'tetex' USE flag enabled, and that you have the latest
version of jadetex (jadetex-3.13-r1).

Try with those and please let us know how it goes.

This should be resolved by using linuxdoc-tools.
