KTechLab on OSX

[WADE MAXFIELD]

  New bug:

   Asking for help in circuits:


"  Could not launch the KDE Help Center:

KDEInit could not launch ‘khelpcenter’”


   under fink on mac, is khelpcenter.app under /sw/Applications/KDE4  which I inserted into the PATH.

 probably need to open this way (under fink)
open -a /sw/Applications/KDE4/khelpcenter.app --args help:blahblah.docbook

   I searched the source and did not find khelpcenter in any source file under ktechlab..

>   7.)  build-simple.sh copies into /Applications/KDE4. (This might fail if you are not an administrator on your mac)   (it probably should copy into ~/Applications (user home directory, applications.)   Copy that app into inst-simple directory after the build.
