I seem to have made some progress. I deleted the file ~/.kde/share/config/khelpcenterrc. I then went back to help and tried to search again. This time I was able to create an index. I think my problems were caused largely by an erroneous configuration file created when I was running KDE 3.2. However, it does seem that creating indices with susehelpindex is insufficient because the user-level helps don't see those indices for some reason.
I can not duplicate your results because I use SuSE 8.2, and mostly with gnome - that's why I know about 'susehelpindex'; by the way, it must be run by root. I also mentioned on another threads that you need some settings: /etc/sysconfig/susehelp: DOC_HOST="yourhost.yourdmain" DOC_ALLOW="localhost .yourdomain" DOC_AUTOINDEX="yes" with that, and after running suseconfig, "susehelp" should run even in text mode on a console - at least, up to SuSE 8.2, with differences on each version, including different bugs: it has never worked flawlessly. Interestingly, you can use one computer as the documentation server, and access it from another. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
