I haven't used those particular binaries, but in my quest to get a
working DocBook XML -> PDF toolchain set up on OpenBSD 4.5. I did
install texlive from ports, first main, and then full. The binaries
ran but I ran into errors converting .fo to .pdf with pdftex.

I bulled ahead and installed the 2008 texlive from TUG, but still
errors. Say I do:

pdftex --interaction nonstopmode "&pdfxmltex" newtest.fo

Then I get:

 (/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/psnfss/t1phv.fd
File: t1phv.fd 2001/06/04 scalable font definitions for T1/phv.
)
LaTeX Font Info:    Font shape `T1/phv/bx/n' in size <24.8832> not available
(Font)              Font shape `T1/phv/b/n' tried instead on input line 2.


! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

The file 'newtest.fo' -- from a Docbook 4.2 xml source -- produces pdf
output just fine using a commercial tool.

Thoughts? (Sorry if this is such a sketchy report, but I'm pressed for
time right now!)
