build error for xmlto 0.0.18

Are you sure this wasn't fixed by r32359? It installs fine for me now.

I think that this bug depends on a certain sequence of events. I have had it install correctly on a clean install of Macports and I was able to get it to fail using the same process that I originally encountered.

I think it has to do with what version of docbook-xml are already installed prior to installing xmlto. Since xmlto depends on version 4.2 and there is already a 4.5 ... I think the time it worked, something else had already installed a newer version of docbook.

Sorry that I cannot recall the what port I was installing when it worked.

I have a similar problem. I am using MacPorts 1.6, xmlto 0.0.18.

I have an XML DocBook file with the following header:

<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
        "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd" [
        <!ENTITY % iso-pub PUBLIC "ISO 8879:1986//ENTITIES Publishing//EN//XML"
                "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/0.3/iso-pub.ent">
        ]>

When I try to process this using xmlto, I get:

$ xmlto pdf asterisk-ldap-wmp-en-r1.0.xml
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl

The some command / XML file works fine when I execute it on Fedora 9 using 0.0.20.

Cc Me!

[blb@…]

xmlto was updated to 0.0.21 and patched to use MacPorts' XML catalog when not told to use another, in r40977. Let me know if that fixes things.

Closing, lack of response and works for me now.
