Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: XSLTproc error on processing images


I was trying to use xsltproc to convert an xml file to html output:
 
xsltproc file:///c:/docbook/docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl inputfile.xml > ouputfile.html
 
when I got the following error:
 
Error Undefined namespace prefix
xmlXPathCompiledEval: evaluation failed
 
whereupon xsltproc hangs and has to be terminated via CTRL-C, this happens also
for FO output with the exception that it does not hang.
 
even worse is when I try to generate chunked html output using:
 
 
which causes xsltproc to crash and windows produces a messagebox saying:
 
************************************************************************
* ProgramError                                                         *
*    xsltproc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.  *
*    You will need to restart the program.                             *
*                                                                      *
*    An error log is being created.                                    *
*                                                                      *
*                               [OK]                                   *
************************************************************************
 
The commandline says the same thing:
 
Error Undefined namespace prefix
xmlXPathCompiledEval: evaluation failed
 
Before this error is thrown, xsltproc does actually manage to produce some output,
namely upto where I have included an image, here is the XML DocBook snippet:
 
    <figure><title>The Fox Fur Nebula</title>
      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
           <imagedata fileref="foxfurnebula.png" format="PNG"/>
        </imageobject>
        <imageobject>
           <imagedata fileref="foxfurnebula.jpg" format="JPG"/>
        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </figure>
 
So I assume that xsltproc is having problems with this section of my document
although it validates fine with xmllint and onsgmls so I'm stymied.  I have also
searched the mail archives, there is a problem that produces a similar error that
was to do with namespaces but I don't have a clue what they are about yet.
 
I would have thought that at least xsltproc should fail gracefully, is this a bug?
