<para> If you are installing on one of these distributions, follow their

recommended way of installation, and you can safely ignore the next sections

that give details for installing dblatex from the source tarball.</para>

<title>Dependencies</title>

<para>To work, the following items must be available:</para>

<itemizedlist>

<listitem>

<para>An XSLT. <filename>xsltproc</filename> is the default XSLT used, but one

can also use <ulink url="http://4suite.org">4suite</ulink> or <ulink url="http://saxon.sourceforge.net">saxon</ulink>.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>The XML DocBook DTD.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>A recent LaTeX distribution. The configure script checks that the needed

latex packages are available.</para>

<title>Installing the dependencies</title>

<para>To use the package, install properly the dependencies:</para>

<orderedlist>

<listitem>

<para>Install Python if necessary.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Install LaTeX.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Install the XSLT. By default <filename>xsltproc</filename> is

used.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Install the XML DocBook DTD.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Create a catalog file, that defines where to find the DTD. Here is an

example:</para>

<programlisting>

PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" 

    "file:///usr/local/share/xml/docbook/dtd/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"

    </programlisting>

<para>If the XML Gnome tools are available, it's a good idea to create an XML

catalog by using <filename>xmlcatalog</filename> such like this:</para>

<programlisting>

% xmlcatalog --noout --create mycatalog

% xmlcatalog --noout --add 'public' '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN' \

                           'file://path/to/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd' mycatalog

    </programlisting>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Add the catalog path to the SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable:</para>

<programlisting>export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=$SGML_CATALOG_FILES:/path/to/mycatalog

</programlisting>

<para>You can skip this step if you configure the dblatex installation with

the <option>--catalogs</option> option.</para>

<title>Installing from the source tarball</title>

<para>The steps to follow are the following:</para>

<orderedlist>

<listitem>

<para>Untar the ball. For a bzipped release, do as follow:</para>

<screen>% tar xvfj dblatex-x.x.x.tar.bz2</screen>

<para>For a gzipped release, do as follow:</para>

<screen>% tar xvfz dblatex-x.x.x.tar.gz</screen>

</listitem>

<listitem>

<para>Install the package. The installation script preliminary checks the

dependencies. In the example, the <filename>dblatex</filename> script is

installed under <filename>/usr/local/bin</filename> and the other files are

installed under <filename>/usr/local/share/dblatex</filename>. Besides, the

<option>--catalogs</option> option tells where to find the catalogs.</para>

<programlisting>

% cd dblatex-x.x.x

% python ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local --catalogs=/path/to/mycatalog
