cannot open help documents

[Nick THOMPSON]

It turns out khelpcenter works from a konsole, but not from Alt-F2 or
from kicker. I tried adding a definition for KDEDIR in startkde and
restarting - not sure if this is the right place, but I assume it should
work. Anyway it had no effect, so I don't think that is the problem. I
don't have any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting either.

    There are never any .html files, they are cached up into the index.cache.bz2

    documents are not there either.

All that is present
    
    Are the docbook files installed in /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/<appname>/ or 
    directly under the en/ - and if directly under, what are they called?

all in <appname> subdirectories
    
    Do you have the binary "meinproc"? Does it run? If yes, can you run it on one 
    of those docbook files?  

meinproc works fine - at least from a shell
    
    If you can run meinproc, do you get HTML pages output in the current 
    directory? If not, do you get errors? Don't panic if you get hundreds of 
    them, they usually boil down to the first couple of lines, but I'd like to 
    see those first couple.

No errors as far as I can see
    
    If you can't run meinproc, is that because it's not even there, or is it 
    because it's broken (doesn't run)?
    
    Can you tell me what $KDEDIR (and/or $KDEDIRS) is set to? 

KDEDIR=/usr, there is no KDEDIRS setting. The rest of KDE3.0.4 seems
fully functional. I can't think of anything else to try right now.

Thanks,
Nick.
