Why 0.8.3? The latest stable GStreamer core release is 0.8.10, please use 
that.

Looks like there's something wrong or missing with your docbook setup, it 
doesn't seem to find the DTD (?).

You can do

 ./configure --disable-docs-build

for now if you don't need/want the docs (they can be found on the website 
anyway).

Unless you have a good reason why you want to build from source, you should 
really use ready-made packages anyway (saves you a lot of trouble in the long 
run, especially with gst-plugins).
