GIMP looks for the help files in the folder $prefix/share/gimp/2.0/help.

I can't tell you what $prefix is for your system. Perhaps just look for the system-wide GIMP brushes folder, then place the help files in the same place.

Isn't there a help package for the Mac with an installer that takes care of this? http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/download.html seems to have one.

install Gimp help

Hi,

here is my path: /Applications/Gimp-2.4.6/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/ Share/gimp/2.0/
There is no help folder in 2.0. I made such a help folder and then a moved the two help files into this folder. I looked in the preferences/Folders but there is no help folder. I followed this path too: /Users/geenen/Library/ApplicationSupport/ Gimp/ and there was not a help folder. I make some one and let it empty because every folder is empty. Again it is not possible to call the help. Always I get this message: The GIMP help files are not found.
Please install the additional help package or use the online user manual at http:// docs.gimp.or

I downloaded the help documentation from darwingimp and tried to install it but it is impossible to install this version. The following message is what I get. Select a destination
You cannot install Gimp-help on this volume. Please make sure, that you have Gimp.app installed in the Applications Folder.

I have Gimp.app installed in the Applications Folder as you can verify in my path at the top of this letter.

It seems that Gimp does not recognize the additions which I made.

The two help files? For context-sensitive help you need the HTML version of the manual. This package has several hundred files.

Perhaps ask for help in the user forum on the darwingimp page? The people who are building the packages for Apple can be reached there.

I have downloaded The Gimp user manual but that is not what I needed. I have several questions to this object. Q1. what is the exact name and url that I must install Q2. where are the files of the Gimp user manual located in the Gimp application
Q3. why do I not see the help folders which I made by hand

I searched and found a gimp-help-2.4.0.tar.bz2 version. Is that what I needed?
