I don't believe a newer version of GnuCash will work under CentOS 6. GnuCash 
2.4.3 works just fine for what I need to do.

It is not GnuCash's docs that are broken, but yelp-2.28.1-17.el6_3 itself.  
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614034.

OK, I guess I will have to download them sometime when I am someplace with 
faster Internet access (I have dial-up at home).

What is calibre?  I don't seem to have it installed on my CentOS 6 system.
