No Help doc or Tutorial on Intel Mac OS X

I successfully compiled and installed both gnucash-2.0.4 and  
gnucash-2.0.5 on an Intel iMac running OSX 10.4.8.  Also yelp and  
gnucash-docs-2.0.1 were compiled and installed.

But Help and the Tutorial do not work, both with an Error dialog of  
"GnuCash could not find the files for the help documentation".

I tried compiling gnucashdocs-2.0.1 first as ./configure and then  
also as ./configure --with-g-wrap-prefix=/sw using Fink.

In case it might provide some useful info, this is the error dialog  
from when I installed the gnucash2-docs binary with FinkCommander:

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      gnucash2-docs
    0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1  not  
upgraded.
    Need to get 0B/9259kB of archives. After unpacking 11.3MB will be  
used.

And this dialog from when I tried installing the gnucash2-docs source  
again with FinkCommander:

     gnucash2-docs

Any suggestions about how I resolve this would be appreciated.
