[bknr-devel] Problems with XML import/export, can't follow the tutorial

Hi,

I've recently came across bknr while searching for a persistence layer
for a small toy program I'm making (which isn't even web based), and
found it quite interesting and with a nicely laid-out documentation
(well, for the datastore, indexing and XML bits, less so for the web
component).

While playing around trying to understand the several pieces (mainly
the datastore) I got stuck in the XML tutorial (tutorial.lisp in
xml-impex) at:

(parse-xml-file "xml-impex/tutorial.xml" (list (find-class 'book)))

To reach that point I had to change

(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :bknr-impex) to (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :bknr.impex).

I always get the following error:

The value NIL is not of type CXML::DTD.
   [Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

I'm not entirely sure if this is a problem on my end, or if the
tutorial is outdated.

I'm using SBCL 1.0.35-3 in Fedora 12 FWIW, plus a recent svn tree. Any
pointers are appreciated, and I'm of course more than happy to provide
any further information if this is indeed something that shouldn't
occur.

Best regards,

Frederico
