I'm trying to make an index for my document, according to the
documentation at
<http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/compiles-sgml>
and various other places. That is, I use collateindex.pl and jade,
but the critical HTML.xml file remains empty...

What do I do wrong?

Try
        perl ./collateindex.pl -g  -N -o index.sgml
        db2html -j "-V html-index" main-file.sgml
        perl ./collateindex.pl -g -o index.sgml main-file/HTML.index (*)
        db2html main-file.sgml

(*) the main-file/HTML.index might be places in another 
sub-dir depending on the id you give the book.

This second step fails... It just doesn't want to run. It makes a
html-index directory, and then returns:
 db2html -j -V html-index rtHOWTO.sgml 
 output is html-index
 Usage: jw [<options>] <sgml_file>
 where <options> are:
 [...]

I think you are using an older version of docbook-utils.  The latest
version is 0.6.11.

I don't think so. This is from my log:

  db2pdf rtHOWTO.xml
  Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog
  Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.11/docbook-utils.dsl#print

I'm writing an .xml file; could that be a problem? But this file does
_not_ start with the <xml...> header, so I think it behaves as an sgml
file...

Oh, sorry, I'd assumed that it was -V that it was complaining about
(-V was introduced in about 0.6.10), but it seems that it's -j.

I've never seen this option before.  I wonder what it's supposed to
do.  It doesn't look like it's something openjade understands either.

Try

This second step fails... It just doesn't want to run. It makes a
html-index directory, and then returns:
 db2html -j -V html-index rtHOWTO.sgml 
 output is html-index
 Usage: jw [<options>] <sgml_file>
 where <options> are:
