On a second thought: not good.
It should be
SearchPath="/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk/docs/html;/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk/docs/html/lcl;/usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk/docs/chm"
Please check Tools / Options / Help / Help Options / Viewers / CHM Help
Viewer / HelpFilesPath.
It should be empty to use the default or contain $(LazarusDir)/docs/chm.
It's set to /usr/local/share/lazarus-trunk/docs/html/lcl/. Setting it
blank enables access to help for begin, $R etc. Thanks for that.
I'm sorry for getting slightly irritable but I spent a lot of time at
the end of last week trying to find what I was doing wrong with my build
scripts- it was only a day later that I realised that I'd had several
ssh sessions open and set to different directories.
However, the really annoying thing is that
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Installing_Help_in_the_IDE in the section "If
you are using Lazarus from Subversion"- which if course I am- explicitly
says '"HelpFilesPath" should be, where you put the CHM files': nothing
at all about the fact that in at least some cases it's better to leave
it blank because the IDE will "do the right thing".
