gnucash crash running tutorial or help

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

Sorry that nobody has responded.  Unfortunately I don't know
what to tell you.  I'm not sure if this is specific to OpenBSD
or what.  You don't mention what version of the gnucash-docs
package you have installed.

Also, the whole help system is being re-routed for 1.9/20 into
Yelp, so the integration moving forward is going in a very different
direction.  Considering that we're already at 1.9.5 beta releases
enroute to the 2.0 stable release, I dont think we're going to
want to spend much effort trying to get a 1.8 bastion working.

Good Luck,

-derek
