I'm sure others on the list will have far more expert advice to give
you, but two possibilities come to my mind:
1. Regarding the SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable error using Makefile.
One obvious possibility is that you have set the variable but not
exported it (I apologise in advance for pointing out the bleeding
obvious). Funny things can happen with shells and subshells if you don't
export. In bash you can set and export like so:
SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/local/share/refdb/refdb.cat
export SGML_CATALOG_FILES
or you can do it in one command:
export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/local/share/refdb/refdb.cat
The fact that you can 'echo' the variable does not necessarily mean
you've exported it.
2. Regarding the 'warning: failed to load external entity
"manualbib.xml"' error using runbib.
I use docbook xml so I'm not sure how much of this applies to TEI xml.
You've said your initial test document is a pre-existing document you
have converted to use refdb. Perhaps the error lies in the conversion
process.
I can produce the same error on my machine easily by mistyping the name
of the bibliography file. For example, the first lines of a typical
document look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"; [
<!ENTITY bibliography SYSTEM "experimental.bib.xml">
]>
The 'experimental' in 'experimental.bib.xml' is the same as the root
name of the xml source document itself, eg. 'experimental.short.xml'. If
I alter the file name in the entity declaration I get the same error you
did. Have you ensured the root name of the bibliography file in the
entity declaration is the same as the root name of the TEI xml document
itself?
When using 'make html' you specified the source document as
'drtest.xml'. When using runbib you specified the source document as
'manualbib.xml'. Are you running the tests on two different source
documents?
I strongly suggest you create a minimal refdb document from scratch
using 'refdbnd'. Add a single sentence with a single reference and make
sure the doc is valid xml and the citation code is correct. Then try
'make html'. If that works, the problem you describe lay with the
initial conversion.
When I first started with refdb I had trouble with runbib. I tried
refdbnd and it 'just worked'.

David.
