Thanks a lot Angus for the reply.
Since I am getting the same error for other layouts too, (i.e. non docbook
ones), is some information available in the Wiki for setting up the
underlying LaTeX for generating the document. In the presence of these
errors, the "Export" options (to DVI, PS, PDF etc.) are all disabled (and
that's logical too).
BTW, is there a central repository (like CTAN for instance) that contains
common layouts's ? Many years back I'd a short fling with KLyX, and I
remember having success in using a IEEE / SigCOMP layout (and AFAIR it
worked out-of-the-box). Can't seem to find it now.
thanks & regards,
bd
