docbook xml help


Hello.

I am trying to use xmlto to create an xhtml document from my docbook xml sources. I've tried jade, I've tried openjade, I've tried four different versions of the docbook dtd and nothing is working.

I finally got to the point where a single page xml document got changed to xhtml properly, but I had to point it specifically to the dtd and stylesheet on my hard drive. When I tried using global dtd's I got some nonsense about not being able to load the dtd....

So when I try formatting a multipage xml document using xmlto it craps out with:
"cp: cannot stat `*.htm*': No such file or directory"

It is not my source, as all my stuff is well-formed. These are my errors. When I use:
Code:
xmlto xhtml dlg.xml
I get:
Code:
Convert to XHTML (with chunks)

cp: cannot stat `*.*htm*': No such file or directory
When I use:
Code:
xmlto xhtml -x /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl/xhtml/docbook.xsl dlg.xml
it chugs along like it's doing the conversion, but then gives me the:
Code:
cp: cannot stat `*.*htm*': No such file or directory
Are there any docbook gurus out there? This is killing me because now I'm spending all my time trouble shooting this piece of sh*t rather than writing. If you need any more info just let me know. Thanks.
