I have an eric3config.py file that points to the correct directory:

mcfletch at raistlin:~/pylive$ cat eric3config.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#
# This module contains the configuration of the individual eric installation
#

_pkg_config = {
    'ericDir'         : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3',
    'ericPixDir'      : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/pixmaps',
    'ericIconDir'     : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/icons',
    'ericDTDDir'      : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/DTDs',
    'ericDocDir'      : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/Documentation',
    'ericExamplesDir' : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/Examples',
    'bindir'          : '/usr/local/bin',
    'mdir'            : '/home/mcfletch/pylive/',
}

Hmm, I did use the scripts to install the snapshot (since there's no 
ebuild for the snapshot), but it's possible that specifying a 
non-default installation directory caused a problem.  That is, for me 
the DTDs are stored in:

    /home/mcfletch/pylive/eric3/DTDs/

since I didn't want to install Eric into the portage-managed 
site-packages directory.  Should have mentioned it earlier, but didn't 
remember I'd done so until reading your post.

I'm not really sure which "path" you're referring to for not having 
"DTDs" in it (the system ID?).  If I'm reading the XMLEntityResolver 
stuff correctly, it's automatically adding DTDs to the path (aside: 
shouldn't it be using the value set in eric3config.py instead of 
constructing it this way?)  Can't get it to print out a debug message to 
say what Utilities.getEricDir() returns, for some reason, which might 
support the idea that it's not getting used (i.e. a print statement 
doesn't show up in the log viewer).

Enjoy,
Mike
