Re: Finding help files

[Satyajit Kanungo <satyajit kanungo wipro com>]

Hi,
the steps you have done are okay. Make sure the PACKAGE
name you are passing in gnome_programme_init is same as the
dir name your help files are in ( in /usr/local/share/gnome) .

I guess your Makefile is missing the "datadir" . Add
the following line (in INCLUDES ) in your Makfile.am

-DDATADIR=\""$(datadir)"\".

Hope this will solve your Issue, else let me know .
