I've just built a PDF of the AsciiDoc User Guide with dblatex 0.2.5-1 on
Xubuntu 7.10 (this is the default packaged dblatex version on Ubuntu 7.10):
$ asciidoc -b docbook asciidoc.txt && dblatex --pdf asciidoc.xml
But I got an error when compiling AsciiDoc's example article:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
$ asciidoc -b docbook article.txt && dblatex --pdf article.xml
Build the listings...

I downloaded and installed the latest dblatex 0.2.8 and article.xml
compiled to pdf fine but generated an error compiling AsciiDoc example
book (seems to be related to the book doctype because book.xml compiles
to PDF OK if the '-d book' option is ommitted):

Here's how I installed the dblatex download on Xubuntu 7.10:
$ tar -xjf dblatex-0.2.8.tar.bz2
$ cd dblatex-0.2.8
$ sudo python ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
--catalogs=/etc/xml/catalog
Cheers, Stuart
