I can't do anything with yelp+rarian. Trying to view help files from standalone Yelp yields "No documents or subcategories found." Trying to start Yelp from an app like gnome-terminal or eog throws a "URI is invalid" error. I'm still not sure how this works on Linux as I don't see the /usr/local/share/help/LOCALE directories on a Linux box I have. Does this directory exist for you? If it does, what is its contents? Who creates it? Is there any way to further debug what rarian is doing? Note: I've built rarian using the defaults so both ENABLE_OMF_READ and ENABLE_INSTALL Are defined.
