The first error is that it cannot find the DTD. The rest are a result of that. Install docbook-xml, then change "http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xml/4.1.2/db3xml.dtd"; to "/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" in jargon.xml. I did this, and was able to run the xmlto step successfully, i.e., it created jargon-web.txt. I had other problems because I had none of the programs listed in the TOOLS variable in the makefile, e.g., getversion, name-extract, wraptext.
