I have modified my CATALOG file:
* removed the lines 
-- SGML declaration associated with DocBook ............................. --
DTDDECL "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" "docbook.dcl"
* modified the line
PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" "docbook.dtd"
to
PUBLIC "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN" "docbook.dtd"

and now, the errors I get seem related to the validity(?) of the gnome-db.sgml
file because I get errors like:
jade:../gnome-db.sgml:74:9:E: document type does not allow element "PARA" here; missing one of "FOOTNOTE", "MSGTEXT", "CAUTION", "IMPORTANT", "NOTE", "TIP", "WARNING", "BLOCKQUOTE", "INFORMALEXAMPLE" start-tag
jade:../gnome-db.sgml:80:9:E: document type does not allow element "PARA" here; missing one of "FOOTNOTE", "MSGTEXT", "CAUTION", "IMPORTANT", "NOTE", "TIP", "WARNING", "BLOCKQUOTE", "INFORMALEXAMPLE" start-tag

I will try to install the version 3.0 of docbook (and not 3.1 as I have now).
