There are two branches in the CVS and they are incompatible (including one which is too unstable to be used), and I think you took files from both, which probably is the reason for the errors you get. > And now the result: > ----------------------- > > 1.)

Hmm, sounds like an issue with type.cfg... your validator doesn't know its content types any more. You said you took type.cfg version 1.6, and the CVS log for this file says it's in HEAD (dangerous), and states that there is a backward-incompatible change made, which supports my theory of mixed branches. I suggest you reinstall (sorry) either the packaged version, or from CVS using only the validator-0_6_0-branch branch. Hope this helps. Tell us how it evolves. -- olivier
