Description Don Scorgie 2006-10-12 13:45:29 UTC 
in libgnome/gnome-help.c (some of the still helpful libgnome stuff), line 221 (or around there), an error message is set to:
"Unable to find the help files in either %s or %s.  Please check your installation"

Slightly later, line 237, a different error occurs, but the same error message is set.

Alas, no clue is then given of which branch failed.  Changing one of the error messages would be agreat help!

A suggestion is to change the first error message occurance to "Unable to find the help paths: %s or %s" or similar (as that's what's actually failing).  The second message is accurate.
