Can't search the KDE Help Centre

[Justin Denick]

Hey Bogus,

I experienced a like issue with KDE-3.4.2-r2 on Gentoo-2005.1,but I beleive 
the issue was/is related to < USE="-doc[...]" > which excludes Help 
Documentation at compilation. While this created smaller binaries and used 
less space, it also did exactly what it was supposed to-- exclude help docs.
Did you compile KDE by hand?
Also, did this happen after an upgrade or any other dramatic change to your 
box?

Got Gentoo?
