  okay, that solves the problem :-)

  Just extract it under xstc I have:

paphio:~/XML -> ls xstc
fixup-tests.py  Makefile.in  xstc.pyc
xsts-2004-01-14.tar.gz
Makefile        Tests        xstc-to-python.xsl
Makefile.am     xstc.py      xsts-2002-01-16.tar.gz
paphio:~/XML -> 

  Tests was created by extracting xsts-2004-01-14.tar.gz tarball there.
then runxmlconf should just grab data from there, if that doesn't work
don't bother :-)

  thanks !

Daniel
