I had the same docbook problems and never could find a Mandrake RPM that
would set up things properly.  I eventually got the gnucash manual
working with the following info:

http://www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/install.html

I know nothing about docbook (OK, before setting it up I knew less than
nothing, *now* I know nothing :) but this worked for me.
