Hi Christian,=0D
=0D
I have compiled and installed the gnucash manual for 1.7.6, but it  =0D
seems that I am unable to reach it from within Gnucash itself. When I  =0D
hit Help from the Help menu, it simply shows me an error page, as it  =0D
did before I installes the docs. Are there any other parameters to  =0D
edit, so that Gnucash will find its help files?=0D
=0D
It seems that the helo files where installed onto the following path:=0D
=0D
/usr/local/share/gnome/help/gnucash/de_DE/...=0D
=0D
I would happily try to contribute to the german translation, but it  =0D
would be helpful, if my wife (who=B4s been an accountant for a long time)  =
=0D
could reach this help from within gnucash.=0D
=0D
Besides this, I do like 1.7.6 much better than 1.7.5.=0D
=0D
Regards,=0D
