I'm pretty sure that the OP is in the same boat as I am on this one. Doing a "which gnome-gtkhtml-3.0" returns "/opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0". Checking /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin, there are no copies of gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 lying around. But it still doesn't work. Creating a symlink from /opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 to /usr/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 works however. I'd almost venture to say that the path is hardcoded in. Though I certainly hope that the developers wouldn't do something that silly. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
