Re: [gnomemm] Help with yelp

[Vladislav Grinchenko <vgrinche integ com>]

Ooops, forgot the error message:

Gnome-WARNING **: gnome-program.c:986:

	Directory properties not set correctly.
	Cannot locate application specific files.

The application itself core dumps in the call to locate_file().

BTW, all help-related files are installed correctly. If I try to view
document from command line with yelp, it works just fine:


% yelp ghelp:/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/gwavmerger.xml
