  I also only have sgmltools-1.x (1.0.9) and installed the DocBook stuff
from 'rosario'. I grabbed the RPM's and sources, since I use Slackware I 
didn't actually use the RPM's other than reading the 'spec' file to see
what they did and used that as a pattern to compile/install the sources.
  Other than the recent requirement for 'gtk-doc' everything was working
fine for the db2html stuff and now after getting 'gtk-doc' that end of
things is working now also.
  If anyone wants my notes of how I compiled/installed for a guide, let
me know and I'll send them.

PS: I looked at the sgmltools 2.x awhile ago and actually grabbed it but
    when I tried to compile it I saw it needed python (or maybe something
    else) either way I didn't have it and no desire to get it either so
    I just stuck with 1.0.9.
