Yelp-tools was already installed.  For more details, please see my response to Jack.
I just noticed that yelp-xml is also installed (before my last test).

I suspect that is partly because my system doesn't expect things to be installed in usr/local/*
instead of usr/*, although balsa & balsa-ab in the menu or command line do start the programs.
Maybe part of my problems is some typo somewhere, or not specifying the right paths.
I'll do a little more testing.

Thanks for your response :)
