I will try the text file route for the SAMPLE file. To my knowledge I pulled everything. The command I used was:
"svn checkout http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk GC-docs" I did not use the quotes shown above. Do you think that revision 19355 was the proper one to use? I am expecting that it was the most recent at least at the time I pulled the docs. Would that be a correct expectation?

I'm afraid I don't know how to solve this, but I'd ask if you pulled out ALL of gnucash-docs, or if you only pulled out pieces of it? If you only pulled out pieces then you might not have all the docbook stylesheets required to build it. > Tom -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warl...@mit.edu PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
