Re: DOCBOOK: installing docbook

[Vladimir G Ivanovic <vladimir at acm dot org>]

The RPMs you list had strange version numbers (to me). Here are the RPMs
I'm using

   $ rpm -qa | egrep "docbook|jade|tex-|xsl|sgml"
   docbook-dtd40-sgml-1.0-11
   tetex-1.0.7-15
   tetex-latex-1.0.7-15
   tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-15
   docbook-dtd-412-1
   sgml-common-0.5-5
   docbook-dtd31-sgml-1.0-10
   docbook-dtd41-sgml-1.0-10
   docbook-utils-0.6-13
   tetex-fonts-1.0.7-15
   tetex-afm-1.0.7-15
   tetex-dvips-1.0.7-15
   jadetex-3.3-1
   psgml-1.2.1-13
   howto-sgml-7.1-1
   docbook-xsl-129-1
   docbook-dtd30-sgml-1.0-10
   openjade-1.3-13
   sgml-tools-1.0.9-9
   tetex-dvilj-1.0.7-15
   docbook-utils-pdf-0.6-13
   docbook-style-dsssl-1.64-2

I also have XEmacs-21.4.3, PassiveTeX, Saxon 6.4.3 and xmltex installed.
You'll also need (to satisfy dependencies, although I don't use them)

   xalan-j-2.0.0-1
   xerces-j-1.3.0-1

They all run on a Red Hat 7.1 (2.4.9) system.
