Yes, I'm here. And fancy that -- I'm the gnucash2-docs maintainer for  
fink, too. Hmm. Must have told bmaret he could make me maintainer of  
that package, too.

Looks like you don't have scrollkeeper still installed.

Fink's yelp, or external? What happens if you open yelp by itself?  
What happens if you click on the Applications link in yelp's initial  
window?

Gnucash Help does work for me, whether I'm running gnucash trunk (not  
in my path) or 2.0.x from the fink tree. I think the only place I've  
installed yelp or gnucash2-docs files is via fink.

But I don't have access to an intel mac.
