yelp not available/installed/working gnumeric

Hi Salixers,
in gnumeric asking for help
yields
Unable to start the help browser (yelp).
The system error message is:
Failed to execute child process "yelp" (No such file or directory)
I remember also some other package having this problem.
Regards
marcel

Yes, you need yelp to open that help files. And I personally have no intention of making a yelp package. It's ugly, it only works with xulrunner, it needs serious patching to work with webkit and my CPU goes up to a constant 100% when it is launched. Better not have it at all. If you still want it, try the gsb project.

Side note: I do wonder why it is so complicated? does GNOME want to force it as a new standard?
I mean, otherwise, if they didn't then they probably would have done that with HTML just like Xfce Liferea and many others (or
CHM).

I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to install yelp for gnumeric and get the following errors:

Any suggestions? Thanks.

For 32 bit salix flavors

Thanks djemos, it's all good now. No problem with CPU hogging either.

Something weird is happening since I installed yelp; I'm now getting constant updates for the libsecret package, even though both are already installed:
Packages to be upgraded
libsecret(0.15-i486-ldj) -> 0.15-i486-l
