Please excuse the "me too" post; I'm new to this list.   :-)

I can't convert DocBook to PDF either, and I'm running under Red Hat.

[dan at scandium docbook]$ docbook2tex Stuff.sgml
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.0.cat
Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.9/docbook-utils.dsl#print
Working on: /home/dan/docbook/Stuff.sgml
Done.

=== So far, so good, but look what happens next. ===

[dan at scandium docbook]$ pdftex Stuff.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)

I also can't convert DocBook to PS or DVI.

So if anyone has a solution, I would be glad to hear it.
