What's the connection to FreeBSD? Are you using wine to run the
windows binaries?

Some say "Grokking the GIMP" was a good book.

I have no clue what you are talking about, but as I don't
run Outlook Express, I probably couldn't help anyway.

Did you use the ports? Help is separated:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports/graphics $ls|grep  gim 
gimageview
gimp
gimp-help
gimp-manual-html
gimp-manual-pdf
gimp-pmosaic
gimp-ufraw
gimp1
libggimisc

What answer? Did you read man chmod?

AFAIK there are still features missing.

The documentation is in a separate package for which no port exists
yet as far as I can tell. You can download it from the gimp website
and run configure/make install.
Last time I checked it was still very incomplete though.

No, that doesn't help. This port installs .html files.

As I explained earlier in this thread, gimp (version 2.0.0) help
complains about not finding help files that have .xml extension.
And it says "Check your installation". So I bet the gimp port is
not complete.

But the required file, /usr/X11R6/share/gimp/help/en/gimp-help.xml,
is not there! The gimp-message box, that tells me this, also says:
  "Please check your installation".
So there's something missing after installing the package, isn't it?

Hi,

I have gimp, version 2.0.0, with "WITH_HTML_HELP_BROWSER=yes"
installed. When I click on Help->Help, I get an empty browser,
but also a message pop-up, that says
 'Could not open '/usr/X11R6/share/gimp/help/en/gimp-help.xml'
 for reading: No such file or directory.
Is this gimp install incomplete, or do I need another port
for the help XML pages of gimp?

I noticed a number of ports are installing directories with permissions
700. You may need to chmod those to 755 to get applications to work.
