Error creating PDF output

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie indeed; I tried xml Resume Library a few months ago and managed to write my CV using it.
    I use Debian Woody on my computer but since xml-resume-library 1.3.2-4 is much worse than the new versions, I set up an unstable Debian system on another partition and I used a version of the lib I cannot remeber (certainly 1.5.x-y). Everything went fine up to december 2003 (that was the last time I updated my CV); yesterday I upgraded my unstable system and when I run "make" it fails creating resume.pdf. Now I have versione 1.5.1-3.
    I'm not in front of my own PC at the moment so I cannot write the exact error but I'm sure that xmlto fails with an error like "no DTD found". What should I change in my xml file to get it working again??
    Sorry if it's a stupid question...
    thanx for your help

      I had the same problem.
      When I changed xmlto to pdfxmltex in the makefile it worked.

      $(RESUME).pdf: $(RESUME).fo
          pdfxmltex $(RESUME).fo

      Hi,
      thanx for your reply!
      I tried what you suggested but it still fails with the following:

      pdfxmltex resume.fo
      This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b (Web2C 7.4.5)
      (./resume.fo{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}
      LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
      Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, nohyphenation, loaded.
      xmltex version: 2002/06/25 v1.9 (Exp):
      (/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/config/xmltex.cfg)
      No File: resume.cfg

      ! LaTeX Error: File `fotex.xmt' not found.

      Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
      or enter new name. (Default extension: xmt)

      -------------------------------------------
      And here's the message when running xmlto:

      xmlto pdf resume.fo
      xmlto: input does not validate (status 3)
      validity error : no DTD found!
      Document /woody/home/zino/curriculum/resume/resume.fo does not validate
      make: *** [resume.pdf] Error 3

      .... I'm stuck and cannot update my cv!!!
      thanx anyway for your help

        Is the package passivetex installed?

          passivetex wasn't installed; now I installed but I still get the same error. In the meanwhile it seems like somebody else reported a bug at the Debian BTS (bug #241636).
          Unfortunately I cannot update my CV :-((
