[xep-support] Using XEP to do Docbook processing Question (Probably installation)

I am running a Docbook XML file using XEP and am getting the error message
below:

Making portrait pages on USletter paper (210mmx11in)
No adjustColumnWidths function available.
Processing terminated by xsl:message at line 203
 
I followed the instructions in Chapter Three of Bob Stayton's online
book.  This gave me the following script:  I found a note from Mr. Stayton
on a different support list that suggested this error message is related
to use of the Xalan processor.

#!/bin/sh

# This script encapsulates a standard SAXON call.

By the way, I tried the exact same XML input file with the FOP that is 
open source. It works fine and gives me a beautiful PDF file.

I suspect that I made a minor mistake in installation or the
shell file to invoke XEP.    Thanks for your help.
