DOCBOOK: Re: xref not working

/ Zack Brown <> was heard to say:
| I'm using RedHat Linux 7.1, and docbook2pdf doesn't seem to process
| <xref> elements properly. it gives the following error:
|
| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| jade:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.59/print/dblink.dsl:179:1:E:
| XRef LinkEnd to missing ID 'chapter1'
| -------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't reproduce this bug, but I do notice several odd things about your file:

| -------------------------------------------------------------------
| <?xml version="1.0"?>

It claims to be XML.

|
| <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"[]>

Then points to an SGML DTD. You probably want ...DocBook XML V4.1.2... here.

| Does anyone know how I can get this working?

What does nsgmls say?

                                          norm

P.S. You can get more recent stylesheets from sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/
