Unless sgmltools got upgraded lately, it cannot handle docbook. Try jade and
jadetex instead.

jade -t sgml \ 
   -d /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/html/docbook.dsl \
   source.sgml

creates a couple of HTML files.


jade -t tex \ 
   -d /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/print/docbook.dsl \
   source.sgml ;
jadetex -fmt=/var/lib/texmf/web2c/jadetex source.tex

creates a TeX/dvi file. You might need repeat the jadetex line a couple of
times before the indexes get generated correctly.
