Hello,
As it happens, once I figured out how to get Biber running (more or less; not
much documentation and what there is is pretty obscure for a newcomer and I'm
still not sure I'm totally clear on it), it told me that I needed version 9e of
Biblatex; it turns out that the TL2010 version (which I downloaded yesterday
afternoon; until that point I was on TL2009) was 9a. Updating Biblatex got me
past the initial hurdle. Then I had to update etoolbox and something else as
well.
I can now make some of the styles work (e.g. philosophy-modern,
philosophy-classic) but not others (philosophy-verbose, and one or two more).
I'll have to experiment a bit more with this and perhaps post again.
The big problem yesterday was that I was not getting any help from the XeTeX
messages. It wasn't until I started playing with Biber that I saw the
versioning issue.
Thank-you!
