Following suggestions from Jan Henrik Sylvester I installed www/webkit-gtk2 but still had the same problem. I subsequently discovered that if I started gimp from a terminal window instead of from the KDE menu I could access the local help files with no problem but still couldn't use the online help. Unfortunately I don't know if this would have worked before installing webkit-gtk2.
webkit-gtk2 is not installed here, but online help works.
At this stage I was starting to wonder if I might have missed some crucial item in ports/UPDATING at some stage in the past and might have some dependency issues so I used a spare slice to set up a new test system. I created the new system by copying all the partitions from my working system, editing fstab to change device names and then running pkg_deinstall -af to remove all packages. Then I installed enough ports to run X and twm before attempting to install gimp. This time I got lots of the following warning messages while building gimp-help: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd xml/es.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd"; //OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd"; ----------------------------------------------------------------------- These didn't stop gimp-help from building and installing but, needless to say, gimp produced the usual errors about not having the user manual installed.
gimp-help depends on /usr/ports/textproc/docbook-xsl. You might deinstall that port, then clean and install. Watch for a pkg-message after the install. You should also check for "optimizations" in /etc/make.conf.
