Your installation of the Docbook tools is incomplete. The make

The fact that a manual is instantly updateable does not guarantee that all sections will be fully updated concurrently with the latest stable Gimp. There are only so many skilled hands to do it. In terms of paper books I work primarily from _Grokking the Gimp_ (2000) and the newer but sill obsolete _Artist's Guide to Gimp Effects_ (2007). The html manual is the most up to date best we have at the moment, and represents a huge work effort on the part of many people. But even within its present constraints the html manual can be improved by renaming the html files for the beginning section covered in numeric order. Some are named that way but most are not. One segment of Chapter 3, six segments of chapter 5 and two each for chapters 11 and 12 are so named. The rest have descriptive names.
