I have downloaded and installed textproc/docproj.
I have also gotten a local copy of the documentation tree.
Unfortunately, when I do

nsgmls -s book.sgml

I get a ton of error messages, the first couple of which are:

nsgmls:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/4.1/dbcent.mod:54:0:E: 
cannot open "/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/4.1/iso-amsa.gml" 
(No such file or directory)
nsgmls:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/4.1/dbcent.mod:61:0:E: 
cannot open "/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/4.1/iso-amsb.gml" 
(No such file or directory)
etc.

My surmise is that there are a bunch of necessary files that
1) I don't have or
2) don't have in the expected place.

Pointers to remedies would be greatly appreciated.
