Bingo. I can build docs on postgresql.org (a FreeBSD machine) using the
FreeBSD packages of the tools if I set an environment variable,
specifying these four paths delimited with colons:

setenv SGML_CATALOG_FILES
'/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/3.0/catalog:...'

On my linux/rpm machine, I don't need to set this environment variable
at all (except for emacs parsing) since jade was built with the correct
default route to catalogs. Don't know why FreeBSD does not do this;
perhaps this should be written up as a "feature deficit" or bug?

I'm building most of 'em anyway.  I'm getting this after it successfully 
builds admin, postgres and programmer:

One more thing I'm missing maybe?

Not at all. I get the same thing :)

I did not rebuild the tutorial for the last release, but had
restructured the generic introduction used in several docs to separate
out the legaleze, etc. tutorial.sgml is just missing a few definitions
for those entities...

fwiw, if you build postgres.html you will find all the information from
all the other standalone documents. I did that because in the html
format it is nice to be able to click around all of the info, rather
than having to open another document.

So, we have FreeBSD nailed for building documents. Vince, can you jot
down some notes on exactly what you did to get things working? There is
a section in docguide.sgml (Appendix A in postgres.html) which discusses
installing tools, and the only two methods described so far are linux
rpm and from-sources.

Also, if anyone has tried installing a relatively fresh sgml-tools
package, it would be great to write up that one too. btw, the sgml-tools
folks have taken over the Unix-side issues for jade, which was always a
troublesome spot.
