param.xsl in 2005-12-30 docbook-xsl2-snapshot

[Chris Chiasson <chris.chiasson@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I am having the following problem with the 2005-12-30
docbook-xsl2-snapshot on a Gentoo GNU/Linux system:

---Problem---
Issuing:

java -jar /usr/share/saxon-bin/lib/saxon8.jar -o index.ht             
                                sl2-snapshot/html/docbook.xsl

Results in:

Error at xsl:include on line 13 of file:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-sna
  XTSE0165: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
  /usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/html/param.xsl (No such file or
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

Will anyone tell me what I should do to fix the problem?

My version of the docbook-xsl2-snapshot was installed manually. It is
possible I could have installed it incorrectly, so here are some
diagnostic commands I ran.

---Diagnostics---
Issuing:

cd /usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/;./test.sh

Results in:

Testing with xmlcatalog...

  Tested: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl2/current/

Testing with Apache XML Commons Resolver...

  Result: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot

Issuing:

env

Results in (relevant lines only):

SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/catalog
XML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/catalog.xml:/etc/xml/catalog

CLASSPATH=.:/usr/share/saxon/lib:/usr/share/saxon/lib/saxon8.jar:/usr/share/xml-commons/lib:/usr/share/xml-commons/lib/resolver.jar:/etc/xml

Issuing:

ls /etc/xml

Results in:

CatalogManager.properties  CatalogManager.properties.4888.bak  catalog  docbook

Issuing:

cat /etc/xml/CatalogManager.properties

Results in:

catalogs=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-xsl2-snapshot/catalog.xml;/etc/xml/catalog

Visiting:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/docbook/xsl2/html/Attic/

Seems to indicate that params.xsl is depreciated - so why is it
referenced in the docbook.xsl stylesheet?

Browsing GMANE for this issue didn't turn anything up, but I don't
know how to use GMANE well...

Thank you for your time,
