I didn't have success either, but the problem here is probably that you
don't have the doctype statement in the file. Maybe my experience is
useful information.

I got the the book XML and the tools directory then ran:

make version

in the book directory to create version.xml.

I copied the doctype statement from book.xml (I'm assuming you are
trying to convert the subversion book):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE chapter SYSTEM "../../tools/dtd/docbook-4.4/docbookx.dtd"
[
<!ENTITY % vers   SYSTEM "version.xml">
%vers;
]>

to the top of the file ch02-basic-usage.xml.

I then installed docbook2X and ran:

docbook2x-texi ch02-basic-usage.xml

and it complains about references to parts that are outside of that
file. So, you could perhaps look into modifying XML files.

Alternately, if I leave ch02-basic-usage.xml unchanged and use:

docbook2x-texi book.xml

it complains about nesting that is too deep when evaluating some XPath
expressions.
