Supposedly docbook-dtds-1.0-53.fc14 contains the files needed. I would
check to make sure that your /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog file is
correct. If it is it will contain a line an awful lot like the
following:
<public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" uri="xml-dtd-4.5/docbookx.dtd"/>

It doesn't seem so:

  $ cat /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">
  <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"/>

Ok, before we get too far down the rabbit hole, is that EVERYTHING in
your xmlcatalog?

yes it is.

If it is then you have an install error (I downloaded the spec file
and read it extra closely just to be sure). In FC14 the xmlcatalog
file is not provided as whole cloth but it is built by the
post-install script. If that script failed to run to completion you
will have missing parts to your docbook-dtds package installation.

ah that may explain why mine is incomplete.

This file belongs to xml-common-0.6.3-33.fc14.noarch which sounds
pretty uptodate for a Fedora distribution.

Yes, it is the latest in the FC git repo collection for that package as
well.

I have no problems building the doc on F14 with

ASCIIDOC8=y
ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF=y
DOCBOOK2X_TEXI=db2x_docbook2texi

in my config.mak (besides other stuff), with these versions:

asciidoc-8.4.5-5.fc14.noarch
docbook2X-0.8.8-7.fc14.x86_64
docbook-dtds-1.0-53.fc14.noarch

xmlto-0.0.23-3.fc13.x86_64

(libxml is irrelevant)

Are you sure you have no other xmlto (type -a xmlto) and no tinkering
with the default style sheet config?

Michael

Before you get too much further along chasing phantoms, please have a
look back into the mailing list at the problems I had just enumerated
with respect to building the man pages when missing the docbook 4.5
declarations and files in my local xmlcatalog. I got EXACTLY THE SAME
ERRORS ORIGINALLY NOTED. That's why I answered the original query to the
list.

Could you give me the message-id ?

I recommend re-installing the docbook-dtds package alone and in
isolation from other Yum/RPM transactions. If the xmlcatalog file is
correctly regenerated AND the docbook files are there AND you have
(re)run ./configure prior to running make AND you don't have filesystem
errors THEN you should have a successful build. (Barring something that
crawls up out of the rabbit hole--other than a rabbit.)

Ok I'll try.

Fix the most obvious possible problems first before seeking
off-the-beaten-path solutions or worse blaming somebody.

Well that wasn't obvious for me that the catalog was not complete. I
also hope that I haven't blamed anyone so far for the trouble I'm
having...
