Jade Installation Frustrations

["Ben Rockwood" <BRockwood@homestead-inc.com>]

Hello.

I appologies if this is a common question, but I haven't seen an answer in the FAQ(s), archives, or on any site.

I've been wanting to play with DocBook for awhile now.  I don't run a standard distro (LFS) so I am forced to install all the tools "by hand".  DocBook/SGML tools and especially DTD are a massive pain to install.  There doesn't seem to be any clear explanations as to how to do it either.  Most docs simply says "download the zip and put it in an appropriate directory".  There doesn't seem to be, in my eyes, a clear layout scheme.  Or possibly I just don't understand it, which is why it seems so foreign.

But, despite this, my major headache has been Jade (and OpenJade).
I just pulled (again) Jade from the ftp site (here on sources.redhat.com)
and tried building it.  I used both the "jade.tgz" and the "jade-1.2.1.tgz".
Every time, and on every machine I've ever tried to build these guys on I've
run into problems. I've never seen it compile correctly, and I must assume this is a "just me" problem, yet I see this problem on every Linux box I've tried (LFS and several RedHat boxen) as well as Solaris.
Can someone please explain to me the state of Jade, and why I might be having these problems?  Is it just me?

Here's an example of the failure:
