You may have built the docs with no errors, that doesn't mean you built them
*correctly*. Docbook will parse with any vaild stylesheet with no problems,
but only the GDP one will correctly format it to use png images when
building html and eps images when building postscript or pdf. If the
gdp-both.dsl file does not exist on your computer you should get it from the
GNOME Documentation Project at:

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/

You should also read the GDP handbook, it explains the odd docbook system
that GNOME docs are supposed to use. Previously we've had problems with
people attempting to build the docs without reading the handbook and getting
a manual with no images, so I changed it to force people to have the
stylesheet installed to build the docs. It is still possible to build them
without gdp-both.dsl as people can do what you have, just use the manual
command, but it won't happen by default.
