I checked my version (on RH8) and mine's even worse: 1.3.4!

Is it possible for you to use xml tools instead (maybe something is
already installed on your system for that)? When I check xml documents,
rather than onsgmls, I use xmlproc_parse (included in RH8).
Syntax: xmlproc_parse file.xml
If you have multiple files for the book: xmlproc_parse *.xml
The command will find the dtd in the first file, and seems to be fine
with the url to docbookx.dtd. This is much handier than onsgmls for me
when working on a book that has other files included as entities in the
main xml file. I've always found that with onsgmls I have to paste in
the doctype definition at the beginning if I'm working with a
multiple-file book. Big pain.
Hope that helps a little!
