That means that you don't have installed support for linuxdoc and docbook,
so it can't work.
Although the documentation is minimal, Help->Latex Configuration (not only
about LaTeX) gives some information where you can find further support for it.
Basically the answer is this:
* If you are insterested in linuxdoc you should look for sgml-tools v1.0
* If you want to look to docbook exported documents you should search
for sgmltools version >= 2.

This is probably the point, linuxdoc and docbook are two examples of
markup languages languages, that are defined by SGML. The near relative that
you can think of this two languages is html.
So the main point here is that both linuxdoc and docbook output is
completly different from the other latex based layout files.
http://www.linuxdoc.org/ is the main repository for linuxdoc, linuxdoc (as
the name implies was first developed for Linux Documentation, mainly the
HOWTOs.
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ is the oficial homepage for docbook and
http://www.docbook.org/ a good place to search.
