I've run into the same problem. Debian now has an xml catalog provided
by the package xml-core, so the README needs an update.

Running the command in the configure script gives this:

  No entry for SYSTEM http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl

This bug report contains more information:

  http://bugs.debian.org/230562

If the Debian maintainer is correct, then I think a change is
needed in xmlcatalog.c around lines 545-555. Something like:

(starting at line 548)

    if (ans == NULL) {
        printf ("No entry for SYSTEM %s\n", argv[i]);
        ans = xmlCatalogResolveURI ((const xmlChar *) argv[i]);
        if (ans == NULL) {
            printf ("No entry for URI %s\n", argv[i]);
            exit_value = 4;
        } else {
            printf ("%s\n", (char *) ans);
            xmlFree (ans);
        }
    } else {
        printf ("%s\n", (char *) ans);
        xmlFree (ans);
    }


Confused,
