I had difficulties building and installing the SGML sources from
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/docbook-tools/ and http://www.sgmltools.org/.
So, per our discussion during the last LSB conference call I installed the
SGML RPMs found on Redhat 6.2beta.
It appears that others were having the same difficulties I had building the
LSB specification, so I shared a short explicit script that downloaded and
installed the necessary RPMs for Redhat Linux. I just wanted to help jump
start those trying to build the LSB spec.
It is nice that there is an effort to help fix the SGML tools for Unix;
however, that is an orthogonal topic to the immediate need of getting the
LSB spec built in a local sandbox today.
