The list ignored the original question pretty thoroughly,
so I take it this is the only game in town.

Well, the tarball I just fetched doesn't. It seems to
require manual install in system directories for its 
perl stuff, and the (working) DocBook install that I 
have isn't good enough for 
 cd docbook2X/doc
 make

As I'm currently stuck with a RedHat system the Debian 
package I saw mentioned won't help. The stuff seems to 
come with zero docs about installing this tool? I can
blunder away, but it is hardly encouraging. Right now,
I get:
 Can't locate XML/DOM.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux
  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) 
 at ./db2texi line 54.

There is no DOM.pm in the tarball. I copied SGMLSpl.pm
as DOM.pm, now I get "Bareword.." perl errors (with
perl  5.005_03). Is this stuff really working for you?

Has anybody using DocBook and the RedHat/Gnome additions
gotten this to work? Any recommendations? Alternatives?
