AW: "The KDE-Documentation-Path isn't set correctly." + assorted whinings

[Hermann Joerg]

Hi,
I had the same (or at least a similar trouble).
The reason for that was an incorrect search path in the kdoc pearl script.
Within the first few lines of that script the path to the kdoc directory
is added to INC. In my case this was set to '/share/kdoc' which of course
didn't work.
I hope this is helpful for you...
Jörg
