For example I downloaded these tex files for the new maximum-rpm
handbooks. I type
	
	latex rpm-erase

And I get,

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)
(./rpm-erase.tex
LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,
ngerman, n
ohyphenation, loaded.
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \chapter
            {Using RPM to Erase Packages}\label{rpm-e}
?


I hop this makes things clearer.

I also could not build gstreamer packages because of this. The building
failed on the docs bit.
