Trying to convert the SRM-HOWTO.sgml to pdf produces the following. 

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)

pdfjadetex $TMPFN

NOTE: That pdftex.map is provided by the tetex-dvips package but for some 
reason wasnt install per default. If I install this package it db2pdf 
works. SO the fix is to make tetex-dvips a dependancy of stylesheets.

Below is working output :-)
