Hi,

If, on the other hand, you treat the source code as the 'definative'

While I am at it, anyone know what the problem with the grip help menu is
on gentoo?
There's nothing wrong with grip or its help menu. Do you happen to
have gnome-extra/yelp installed? I'm fairly certain the problem here
is that you're missing the Gnome help browser...

That did the trick - thanks.
I'm not convinced that this isn't an indication of a problem though.
Shouldn't 'emerge grip' have pulled in anything that grip depended on?
Or failing that, shouldn't grip have complained about whatever it was
looking for being missing rather than just silently

When I run emerge -pv grip (You always run -pv before doing the actual

the ebuild does pull in the correct dependencies. So maybe you installed

No, I had not installed gnome-base/gnome or gnome-base/gnome-light

You will probably need to enable APM (or ACPI?) support in the kernel.

this is probably because the digest-file in
