[opensuse] Missing gnucash docs
When running Gnucash, Help tells me that it is not available, since gnucash- docs does not seem to be installed. Searching tells me that it is installed, but if I browse to /usr/share/doc/packages/gnucash-docs the guide and handbook are not there. OTOH I can see /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-guide-C.omf and /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-help-C.omf which I suspect may be what is required. Is there a missing link, or something, to enable the application to find the documentation? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

I use GNUCash on 11.3, it works. If you run it from the command-line does it output any more meaningful errors?
but if I browse to /usr/share/doc/packages/gnucash-docs the guide and handbook are not there.
Nope, just: AUTHORS COPYING COPYING-DOCS HACKING NEWS README
OTOH I can see /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-guide-C.omf and /usr/share/omf/gnucash-docs/gnucash-help-C.omf
yep.
which I suspect may be what is required. Is there a missing link, or something, to enable the application to find the documentation?

Do you have yelp installed? I think that gnucash uses yelp to display the help files. Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Might the package needs a Requires or Recommends to yelp? The gnucash packagers might have set a feedback address in the openSUSE Build Service. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
