Failure in conversion to pdf/ps/dvi

[Howard Mann <howardm at xmission dot com>]

Hi, 


I am trying to convert my .sgml document to these other formats. 


I have the DocBook tools from Cygnus: 


jade-1.2.1-3 
jadetex-2.7-0 
sgml-common-0.1-2 
docbook-3.1-5 
stylesheets-0.10-2 


I also have tetex-0.9-6 


I get the following error messages: 


howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2pdf tronlineDOC.sgml 
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl" 
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-0.12h (Web2C 7.2) 
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) 



howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2ps tronlineDOC.sgml 
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl" 
OUTPUT FILE NAME IS tronlineDOC.dvi 
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) 
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) 
This is dvips(k) 5.78 Copyright 1998 Radical Eye Software 
(www.rad icaleye.com) 
dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened. 


howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$db2dvi tronlineDOC.sgml 
Using stylesheet: "/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygnus-both.dsl" 
OUTPUT FILE NAME IS tronlineDOC.dvi 
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) 
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$jade -d 
/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheets/cygn us-both.dsl -t tex 
tronlineDOC.sgml > tronlineDOC.tex 


results in a "proper" tronlineDOC.tex file , but then : 


howardm:~/public_html/HOWTO$jadetex tronlineDOC.tex 
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) 
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) 


------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
"db2rtf" and "db2html" work O.K. 


I'd appreciate any thoughts. 


Thanks a lot. 


Howard
