What error are you getting?  You should be able to run:

make check

in either the top directory (gnome-user-docs) to check all the documents
or in the first sub-directory of the guide you want to check (i.e.
gnome2-user-guide directory containing all the language directories).

If this doesn't work, have you run autogen.sh?  This is the program to
generate the makefiles.  In the top directory, run:
./autogen.sh && make
will get everything set up so make check can work.

If you've already done all this, what error message are you getting from
make check?
