I unzipped and untarred the help files. I ran ./configure in that directory. When I ran "make" I got a slew of messages of the form:
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd ../src/appendix/bugs.xml:3: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd" "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd"> ...and of course no usable help files. It would be nice if the help files were integral to the Gimp distribution. Perhaps that is too simplistic.
