Okay, I tried it again by just using the docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
and still ran into some problems. Here's what I get with the same
helloworld document:
docbook2pdf helloworld.docbook
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat
Using stylesheet:
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.5.5/docbook-utils.dsl#print
Working on: /home/wbrooks/box/work/foo/helloworld.docbook
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
So it looks like the correct version of the DTD and stylesheets are
getting used for this document, but it can't get pdfTeX to even begin
generating a .pdf file.

Absolutely, I can either mail a patch to the existing web page or change
something in a CVS repository somewhere.

My texmf.cnf file is substantially different than yours so applying the
patch failed. Can you send the whole file? Thanks in advance.
