I had lost of trouble getting docbook/jade/stylesheets working together,
but finally have a stable combination. Running Redhat 6.0 (just upgraded
to 6.1) I use the following rpm's:
jade 1.2.1-8
jadetex 2.7-2
docbook 3.1-3
stylesheets 0.13rh-4
tetex 1.0.6-7
tetex-afm 1.0.6-7
tetex-dvilj 1.0.6-7
tetex-dvips 1.0.6-7
tetex-fonts 1.0.6-7
tetex-latex 1.0.6-7
tetex-xdvi 1.0.6-7

This combination worked under Redhat 6.0 and now under 6.1. db2ps, db2pdf, db2html, and db2rtf all work as you would expect. The tex backend gives some harmless error messages (discussed elsewhere) which, I believe, are corrected in the next release of the modular stylesheets. Note that the combination of tools released with RH 6.1 did not work for me. I got newer RPMs either from rpmfind.net or from sourceware.cygnus.com/docbook-tools/

Hope this helps.
