It builds. But it won't run from a standard terminal window (counting
on Leopard's handoff to x11 via launchd).
If I launch x11.app and launch firefox from an xterm window (after . /
sw/bin/init.sh), it does work.
Yelp still does funny things, either from xterm launch or normal
terminal -- any attempt to get either gnome or gnucash docs results in
a complaint:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information
associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
and nothing else in the doc hierarchy can be displayed.
