I suppose you can do it with the gnome-doc-tools or whatever the name of 
the rpm (or debian for that matter) package is. Here is how i rendered
the GGAD in pdf on my slackware setup, with openjade and TeX:

1/ use jade to output the .tex file from the sgml source, using the
DSSSL script provided:
	
	openjade -c /path/to/catalog -d book-ps.dsl -t tex -o GGAD.tex book.sgml

2/ use TeX to render the PDF (you will have to issue the command 2-3
times to resolve all the cross-refs)

	pdftex -fmt=pdfjadetex -progname=pdfjadetex GGAD.tex


note that you may have to tweak the $TEXMF/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
configuration file to increase the memory pool of TeX a bit.

hope this helps. i worked for me, but ymmv.
