gnucash and gnucash-docs must be installed into the same prefix.  If
you're using gnucash 1.9.x, then you'll also need the 1.9.x version of
the gnucash-docs package.

There is no configuration.  Gnucash calls a library routine with the
name of the help file it wants to open, and that routine determines
which directories to search based on the application name.  If you look
in the file /tmp/gnucash.trace you'll find an error message telling you
where gnucash looked for the help file.
