| Got docbook dtd (3.1). But where should I copy the files?

I'll put this together asap. Probably over the weekend.
The problem is that there's no "right" place to put everything.
But that's no execuse for not suggesting a concrete example
layout that will work.

Try this:

Put the stylesheets in

  /share/dsssl/docbook/...

Put the DTD in

  /share/sgml/docbook/3.1/...

Put the entities in

  /share/sgml/entities/iso8879/...

Put your catalog in

  /share/sgml/catalog

and put lines like this in it:

  catalog docbook/3.1/docbook.cat
  catalog /share/dsssl/docbook/catalog

  public "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Math Symbols: Ordinary//EN"
    entities/iso8879/iso-amso.ent
  ...

| Couldn't you give an ready to use example for o well working setup?

Yes, and I will.

| BTW, you should have a look at the gnome mailing list. This would
| show you that lots of people are having these problems (exactly spoken,
| all people who are not using rpms, that is, all people who try to install
| the docbook thing themselves).

I'd be happy to join the gnome and/or gnome-docs mailing lists
and help answer questions about this stuff (and improve the docs
so there are fewer questions).  What's the subscription address?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
