[Gimp-user] Install Gimp help files.

[John R. Culleton]

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. I have Slackware Linux 11.

Your docbook xsl setup is incomplete or broken.

Perhaps you should consider using a distribution then that packages the
help files for you. Building them from the source is definitely not
trivial and it is not something that a user should have to deal with.
That's why a reasonable Linux distribution does this for you.
