This probably needs to be changed to $GNOME_Prefix instead of the
ORBit variable. We cannot assume that ORBit is installed (which
the instructions now do because of this change), so we have to do
it under the pretense that it is not installed. GNOME (at least
ORBit, anyway) is optional. Only libgnomeprintui is required, and
it doesn't necessarily have to have ORBit installed.

Right, I can see what you mean. I was thinking that the important thing is to put the gnome help documentation where Yelp can find it. ORbit is a required dependency of Yelp, but there's no guarantee that either ORbit or Yelp will be installed before Gnumeric. I would have thought that people would install Gnome and get a nice graphical environment before they start worrying about office applications, but there no telling what people will do in practice.

The thing is, the command works as it is. If Gnome is installed the command can be copied and pasted and it `just works'. If someone doesn't have ORbit installed then the command fails, but it doesn't really matter because they don't have Yelp installed either.

Yelp requires libgnomeui>libbonoboui>libgnome>gnome-vfs>libbonobo
and all of those packages are configured
--prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`
