I have installed GnuCash 2.0.1 and GnuCash-docs 2.0.0 and all dependencies including enable_ofx without significant difficulty. GnuCash works well, and I am completing my transition from Quicken. My only problem is that I cannot access the GnuCash-docs. They are installed and active according to Port Authority, but nothing happens when I select either Tutorial and Concepts Guide or Contents under the Help menu. I'm sure there is something simple that I have overlooked. Any suggestions?
GnuCash uses yelp to display help files, and the MacPorts version of yelp seems to be broken. There are no handlers installed for actually displaying things, which is why selecting the menu items appears to do nothing. You can try it yourself: open-x11 yelp; you should find GnuCash (and other) docs on offer there. Selecting any document results in an error message. IOW: The docs seem all right, but the Gnome program that is required to display them does not work. Unfortunately, the yelp port does not seem to have a maintainer, so I don't know who to turn to. FWIW, the same documentation is also available on the web: Tutorial and concepts guide http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/guide/ Help manual http://svn.gnucash.org/docs/help/help.html Regards, Marc
