failed to load external entity ""
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Hello, I'm using yelp as regular user under Gnome2 and get the following returning line each time I try to load yelp: failed to load external entity "" The above happen only as regular user and not if I'm logged as super-user root into the system. What "failed to load external entity" means and how to fix it? Cheer,
This suggests a problem in the installation of the documentation. Do docs show up? What distribution are you using?
> This suggests a problem in the installation of the documentation I don't think so. Scrollkeeper update the docs properly and without any problem. Also the docs files are available under the proper directory. > Do docs show up? Yes if you access it directly from the software (i.e. gedit, Calculator, etc) but not if you try to access it from the Applications | Help menu. > What distribution are you using? OpenNA Linux G
This also happens under Slackware 9.0, full install, with or without Dropline Gnome 2.2.4, when called by non-root users. No gnome-related docs are listed in Yelp, just man and info, Gnome-docs are only accessible from application's help menu. Everything works o.k. for root. I have checked the access rights of some scroollkeeper configuration and omf files, but haven't found any problems. scrollkeeper-rebuilddb doesn't help I think it worked fine under Mandrake 9.1, but only with locale set to C; anyway, this doesn't help under Slackware. There are lots of reports of this problem, try searching the Google for "yelp failed to load external entity" ... should I provide the `strace yelp` output or anything else?
I'm pretty sure this is bug 113151. Cc'ing Malcolm.
> I'm pretty sure this is bug 113151. Cc'ing Malcolm. It is, indeed, I didn't search for duplicates. Could Yelp see to removing the /tmp/scrollkeeper-tempfile.x when quitting, until this is fixed in scrollkeeper?
