The easiest one is to follow the psgml advice,
as per the psgml documentation,
and tell emacs/psgml where to find the catalog.

put this in your .emacs file
(setq sgml-catalog-files '("path/to/your/catalog"))

This can be found by typing, in emacs
C-x C-f ~/.emacs

that will find (or create) the .emacs file.
