Matthew’s right in general however EPrints does defines the entities.  The problem is more likely the libxml2 problem described here http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/17105.html

For what it’s worth, the first error message is correct.  Without any DTDs,   is not a valid XML entity (it’s a HTML entity.)  You can use   if you don’t want to write/include a HTML-compatibility DTD.

Hi All, 

I am in the process of upgrading eprints up to 3.3.10 (from 3.1.2), and all seems to have worked so far… database has been upgraded successfully etc., but I’m getting the following error, and I hope someone can tell me where to start looking… It hasn’t occurred in the dev machine, so I’m hoping it’s simply something I missed in migrating from dev to tst.

Thanks

Matt
