One more thing: XML *requires* a system identifier.  So, this line needs to
be
<!ENTITY % DocBookDTD PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";>

You can also use a local URI if you haven't configured a catalog yet.

(This is where the error message is coming from.  The parser just sees that
the character immediately following the public identifier is not
white-space, so spits out this message.  It would be nice if the message
were "missing system identifier" instead.)
