According to this commit:

   <para>
    The Homebrew-supplied programs require the following environment variable
    to be set:
<programlisting>
export XML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/local/etc/xml/catalog
</programlisting>
    Without it, <command>xsltproc</command> will throw errors like this:
<programlisting>
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd
postgres.sgml:21: warning: failed to load external entity
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"
...
</programlisting>
   </para>

I use MacPorts, rather than Homebrew, but still found it necessary to
do something similar, specifically:

export XML_CATALOG_FILES=/opt/local/etc/xml/catalog
