Problems with the docbook-tools version of jade

[Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen <steen-belle at unixsnedkeren dot dk>]

Hi.

I am trying to set up a normal Redhat 6.1 based system which just sort
of works out of the box.

After installing the RPM's downloaded from a sourceware mirror I get

jade -v demo.sgm
jade:I: Jade version "1.2.1"
jade:I: SP version "1.3.3"
jade:demo.sgm:5:2:E: document type does not allow element "P" here;
assuming missing "DEMO" start-tag
jade:demo.sgm:7:2:E: document type does not allow element "P" here
jade:demo.sgm:8:22:E: end tag for "P" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was
specified

specified

jade:demo.sgm:8:22:E: end tag for "DEMO" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was
specified

jade:demo.dsl:6:29:E: no document element
jade:demo.dsl:3:0:E: document did not contain any style-specifications
or external-specifications


while building with a verison of jade compiled by myself goes without
any trouble.

[ravn@asserballe dsssl]$ ../jade/jade -v demo.sgm
jade:I: Jade version "1.2.1"
jade:I: SP version "1.3.3"
[ravn@asserballe dsssl]$ 

I have now tried various incantations and other kinds of black magick
for the last few days, and now I would like a hint to what I am doing
wrong here.

_Please_ keep me CC'ed with any response, since now I would really
appreciate getting this up and working.  

Best regards,
