Install Gimp help files.

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.
