Hello,

I've been trying to use asciidoc and xmlto to compile some documentation.

In documentation for the mercurial bundle, and using a simple example from the asciidoc tutorial page I get the following errors when I try the following:

xmlto pdf article.xml ~/tmp
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"
cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl
Variable $SGML_CATALOG_FILES not set
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity " http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"
cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl

I have no sgml directory in /opt/local/share/ and I've tried setting SGML_CATALOG_FILES to various random locations suggested in the archives but no luck.

I don't understand why it says it failed to load the external entities from docbook.sourceforge.net when I can curl them without a problem.

Here's what I have installed:
xmlto @0.0.18_2 (active)
asciidoc @8.2.1_1 (active)
docbook-xml @4.5_0 (active)
docbook-xsl @1.72.0_0 (active)

Thanks,
