Yes, definitely different commands. 

Grep turns up only one entry for the particular example I included.

The reason I suspect I am missing a broad step on my system is that there are 596 different instances of this same basic error every time I run the command, so it’s not a matter of a couple of typos in my changes. There’s something I need to do differently to remove these (what I believe to be spurious) errors. 

Another possibility is that in modifying gnucash-guide.xml to include the new glossary file, I somehow messed that file up so that the compile process is revisiting some of the files. That would explain the duplication. However, I literally added 2 lines to gnucash-guide.xml, adding:

<!ENTITY gnc-gloss SYSTEM "gnc-glossary.xml”>

to the list of files at line 34, and:

&gnc-gloss;

to the main <book> definition at line 519. From my understanding, this shouldn’t cause the multitude of errors.

Cheers,
David
