Transcript written on tmp.log. ------ end error output ------ After some investigation (reading through /usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/passivetex/unicode.sty and trying to find the lines producing the WARNING messages), I tried to fix the problem by going to http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/Mathematica3.0 and downloading and installing mma3fnt.tar.gz, which includes mmasym.sty (which defines \Digamma). This made no difference whatsoever. BTW, I *do* have the docbook tools packages installed (docbook-style-dsssl-1.76-8 docbook-style-xsl-1.58.1-2 docbook-dtds-1.0-17 docbook-utils-0.6.12-5 docbook-utils-pdf-0.6.12-5).
